What people are saying

Artboard 1

The pattern is clear and gives all the information needed (and more!). I struggled a bit with the buttonholes so take to heart what the pattern suggests and make tons of tests on a spare piece first! 


My final product is simply amazing!

I always love Poison Grrls patterns, and this one is beyond expectations!

Lots of detailed instructions and carefully planned.

A must for any Poisonette!

This was a quick project due to the thicker yarn and I changed the yoke to have pine trees. I will use this pattern more ways than the original design and can see all the ways to customize it!

detailed, educational instructions!

We are inspired by vintage style from the 1950’s-1980’s, rockabilly & the revival, early punk & American hardcore music, and American hot rod culture.


And the knitwear that came with our favorite decades! Vintage patterns can often be sparse in information and very limited in sizing. We offer a much wider size range, and we are known for our attention to fit and detailed, educational instructions!


Our patterns provide thorough instruction with the conveniences of contemporary knitting; enjoy the process + the product!
