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. And if working with a series that cannot be analyzed (the title is always the same), refer to Chapter 12 "Continuing Resources."

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 insufficient; 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).
  • 500 (2.7B1 - Nature, Scope, or Artistic Form)

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 (sh 85098793)
  • Do apply geographic subdivisions whenever the pattern pamphlet focuses on a specific ethnic style, such as Estonia or Fair Isle, based on the front cover or title page details.
  • Do NOT use the subject heading Knitted goods, as it refers to the end product, not patterns.
