| title | | Description |
| |  | This is a Russian language book on how to knit. My Ukrainian friend pointed out that according to information on the last page of the book, in 1986 two million copies of this book were printed. He said it is likely that most were used for toilet paper. The title translates to 'The ABCs of Knitting.' |

America's Knitting Book
Gertrude Taylor | 
| This is a comprehensive work on knitting design and technique. What I find interesting about this book is that it was published by Scribner at about the same time that Scribner was publishing the first of the Barbara Walker Treasury books. The dust cover advertisements on this book show that Scribner was marketing the books to compliment each other.

Betsy Harrell | 
| This book has charted patterns for about 76 patterns. The charts imply that each patterns is worked in two colors. This is a little misleading in that while on a given row, it is common to use only two colors; more than two colors are usually introduced across the pattern as a whole. There are some color pictures in the book that demonstrate this use of colors.
