Vintage glamour with a rebel heart.

At Poison Grrls, we create knitting patterns inspired by the attitude, style, and spirit of the decades we love.

Drawing from vintage fashion of the 1950s through the 1980s, our designs are shaped by the glamour of mid-century silhouettes, the grit of early punk and American hardcore, the bold femininity of rockabilly revival, and the rebellious spirit of American hot rod culture. We’re inspired not only by the music, fashion, and aesthetics of these eras, but by the knitwear that came with them—classic silhouettes reimagined for the modern maker.

Vintage knitting patterns are beautiful, but they often leave makers guessing, with sparse instructions, limited sizing, and little guidance on achieving the right fit. Poison Grrls was created to bring that timeless style into the present with patterns that preserve the charm of vintage design while offering the clarity and support knitters expect today.

We are known for thoughtful shaping, attention to fit, and detailed, educational instructions that guide you through the process with confidence. With a wider size range and polished construction details, our patterns are designed to help makers create garments that not only capture the beauty of vintage fashion, but fit beautifully into a modern handmade wardrobe.

At Poison Grrls, we believe the knitting experience should be just as rewarding as the finished garment. Our patterns combine vintage-inspired style with contemporary techniques so you can enjoy the process as much as the product—creating pieces that are expressive, wearable, and made to be loved for years to come.

Whether you're drawn to retro glamour, punk attitude, or timeless handmade style, Poison Grrls is here to help you create knitwear with personality—pieces that feel bold, beautiful, and unmistakably your own.
