AACR2R
Chapter 2 "Books, Pamphlets, and Printed Sheets" is most relevant for bibliographic description of pattern pamphlets. Depending on your library or institution's policy regarding series, Chapter 25 "Uniform Titles" may also be helpful.
MARC
Some MARC fields to keep in mind (with corresponding AACR2R rules in parentheses)
- 300 (2.5 - Physical Description, particularly 2.5C - Illustrative matter, 2.5D - Dimensions)
Knitters and crocheters appreciate knowing whether the pattern instructions are given in chart or written format (or both). Using 'ills.' in $b is not sufficient; please follow up with a Note (below).
- 490 / 830 (2.6B - Series Statement)
- 830 - Uniform Title - creates an added entry for the uniform series title (usually justified by a series statement in 490).
Subject Headings
The best match Library of Congress Subject Headings are Knitting (sh 85072707) and Crocheting (sh 85034198). Some specialty subject headings are available, including Knitted lace (sh 85072705) or Doilies (sh 85038834).
- Do utilize the Patterns subdivision (lcsh 85098793)
- Do use geographic subdivisions whenever the pattern pamphlet focuses on a specific ethnic style (such as Estonia or Fair Isle)
- Do NOT use the subject heading Knitted goods, as it refers to the end product, not patterns.
