Vintage Baby Knits
by Kristen Rengren
|
While working as a vintage clothing dealer, combing through estate sales and eBay listings,
longtime knitter Kristen Rengren amassed hundreds of knitting pattern booklets from 1920
through 1960. Now a knitwear designer, Rengren brings us the result of her combined passions
in Vintage Baby Knits, a charming collection of more than fourty contemporary updates of timeless
baby patterns. Projects range from small, quick-to-knit items like hats, booties, and shrugs
to larger, more challenging designs for sweaters, onesies, and dresses, including a lace
christening gown. Beautiful photographs capture a bevy of adorable babies and toddlers
wearing these knitted treasures. Also included are sidebars on baby fashion and knitting
culture in this bygone era, and a complete reference section. Destined to be a classic
itself, Vintage Baby Knits promises family heirlooms for 21st-century babies.
