The exceptionally clear and visually detailed illustrations can easily be understood by readers "without" having to read the accompanying text. All the patterns diagrammed are shown in the exact stages and sequence of development--from plot to completion--including all necessary markings, such as punch holes, notches, seams, and grain lines.
