 Timelessly Charming
Regardless of the decade, certain styles are timeless, especially when it comes to knitwear for babies. In Vintage Baby Knits, author Kristen Rengren shares more than 40 classic patterns based on vintage designs from the 1920s to the 1960s, all of which look fittingly charming on contemporary children. The projects range from quick-to-knit items like hats, booties, and shrugs to larger, more challenging designs for sweaters, onesies, and dresses. Also included are sidebars on baby fashion and knitting culture in this bygone era, plus a complete reference section on working with vintage patterns.
