Reproduced knitted afghan patterns from the following publications are available here:

Star Afghan Book 
Book 17

Original Copyright 1941

An afghan of beauty is a joy forever and in these afghans, Cecilia Vanek, the ace designer has captured the exquisite beauty of 'le Petit Trianon' in 'Old Versailles', the sturdy beauty fo our Pilgrim Fathers in the 'Cape Cod' and the lush beauty of the Old South in 'Charleston Garden'. You will have fun making these afghans and the many others in this book because of the clear bright color. They're such a pleasure to work with.

Star Afghan Book 
Book 52
American Thread Company

Afghans and Matching Pillows
Book 505
Coats & Clark's O.N.T.
Original Copyright 1954

Afghans designed for contemporary decors. In this book, we set out to prove that afghans, those favorite institutions of the American family, do not have to be kept in a closet becuase they do not fit into our modern rooms.  Frankly, we were tired of frantically rummaging around on the first frosty fall evening and decided that afghans ought to be display pieces, kept proudly to the fore at all times. We considered the prevailing fashions in decoration, then created designs to complement them. We are proud of our afghans and are sure you will agree that they are truly designed for contemporary decors.

Baby talk about knitting! "Mommie says that whenever she wants to knit for me she finds just the right thing in Fleisher's Baby Book.

"She says the instructions are so easy to follow that even I'll be able to knit when I grow a little older. I heard her tell Sis that what she likes specially about Fleisher's books is that the instructions are so accurate...it's almost impossible to go wrong.

"She talks about checking with the gauge(whatever that is) so that whatever she makes is just the right size. I heard her say too that inches mean more than years.  I guess by that she means that you can't tell a baby's size by her age - you just have to measure...that is why she is always measuring us and checking with her Fleisher book."
