So—Mothers, get out your knitting needles or crocheting hooks and relax in a nice big chair, turn on your radio to some soothing music, unwind your yarn—and in the pages of this book will be enough inspiration to make Mr. and Miss Young America the world's best dressed Children. There are Infants and Juvenile Styles cleverly and colorfully designed—and the Smart Young Miss has her day too, for there are some Garments that will be sure to meet with her approval and needs.
We sincerely hope that this book will be of invaluable use to those who "Knit Smartly".
