This is Coats & Clark’s Learn How Book, Book No. 170-A (Revised Edition), published in 1952. It is a comprehensive 52-page instructional booklet designed to teach the four major needle arts: Crochet, Knitting, Tatting, and Embroidery.
The book is beginner-friendly and includes:
- Clear step-by-step instructions and illustrations for basic and intermediate stitches

- Several small projects such as a Small Round Bag, Filet Tray Cloth, Luncheon Set, Shell Envelope Bag, Embroidered Cardigan and Mittens, Cross Stitch Place Mat & Napkin, Hardanger Tea Cloth, and various edgings
It’s a classic mid-century “learn-to” book that was widely used in the 1950s to teach these crafts in a simple, attractive way.
