"Lion yarn book : Describing latest creations in worsted work by Lion Brand Yarn" is a craft pattern booklet and needlework instruction manual produced in the early 20th century. It focuses on knitting and crochet projects, offering designs and techniques for garments and accessories made in worsted and related yarns. The book compiles step-by-step directions for a wide range of projects for women, men, children, and babies: sweaters and pullovers (including ruffled, popcorn-stitch, tuxedo, and Norfolk styles), matching tams and caps, scarves and cloaks, men’s coat sweaters and a crocheted vest, children’s golf hose, and extensive baby wear and linens (sacques, bonnets, bands, carriage cover, and pillow). Many designs use filet crochet with charted motifs and borders, alongside stitch guides such as the popcorn and star stitches and picot/scalloped edgings. Each pattern specifies materials, needle or hook sizes, cast-ons, shaping and finishing, with occasional size notes and accessories like belts, cuffs, tassels, buttons, and fringes; the volume concludes with a brief promotional overview of available yarn lines.
