We design pieces you come back to — the sweater you grab without thinking, the blouse that works with jeans and lipstick, the cardigan that earns its place in your closet.
The Poison Grrls Capsule Collection was built with that exact goal in mind:
a tight lineup of garments that work together, wear well, and don’t fall apart after the novelty wears off.
No filler. No trend chasing. Just good bones.
🖤 The shapes that flatter effortlessly
Cute cropped lengths, soft waist shaping, and details that sit just right.
💋 The silhouettes with retro flair
Nods to ’50s–’80s style without feeling costumey.
✨ The patterns that pair well together
You can knit your own mini knit-wardrobe from this capsule — sweaters, tops, and layers that mix, match, and make everyday outfits feel special.
🎀 The fan favorites
Because you deserve the hits! The patterns you’ve loved the most, polished and brought together in one spot.
Curating this collection reminded me why I started Poison Grrls in the first place: to give makers clothes that feel like art, attitude, and style all rolled into one.
What “Capsule” Means Here
This isn’t about minimalism or rules.
It’s about intention.
Each design in this collection was chosen because it:
Holds its shape
Styles easily with real wardrobes
Feels good on the body
Still looks right a few years from now
These are garments you can build outfits around — not knits that live in a drawer.
The Collection
The capsule includes nine garment patterns, balanced between blouses, sweaters, and outer layers:
Jailbird Blouse
Wildflowers Blouse
Frenchy Blouse
Lightweight, wearable layers with personality — easy to dress up or down.
Chelsea Morning V-Neck
Blondie Cardigan
Beauty School
Core wardrobe pieces designed to layer, style, and repeat.
Sheena Blouse
Soundtrack Cardigan
Sweetheart Bomber
Statement knits with structure and attitude — the pieces that pull an outfit together.
Each pattern is presented in its original gauge, because that’s where the silhouette really sings. If you own another gauge version, it still belongs in your wardrobe — the point is the piece, not the rules.
Built, Not Bought
Fast fashion teaches us to replace instead of repair, discard instead of invest.
Handmade garments are different. They take time. They ask for care. They’re meant to last.
This collection is about building a wardrobe — stitch by stitch — with pieces that feel like you.
That’s the philosophy behind the Built Not Bought Knit Along, where knitters are invited to choose one pattern from the capsule and make it their own. No pressure, no pace policing — just a shared commitment to making something worth wearing.
Where to Start
If you’re new to the collection, start with the piece you can already picture yourself wearing.
Ask yourself:
What do I reach for most?
What’s missing from my closet?
What would I actually wear next month?
That’s your pattern.
You don’t need to knit them all. You just need the right one.
The Poison Grrls Capsule Collection is available now, and if you’d like to knit alongside others this winter, you can join the Built Not Bought Knit Along for extra encouragement, check-ins, and motivation.
Because the best clothes aren’t impulse buys.
They’re built.
