Kristen Rengren

I’m a knitwear designer and vintage clothing fiend based in Chicago, Illinois. My book Vintage Baby Knits, published by Stewart, Tabori and Chang, features over 40 vintage patterns from the 1920s to the 1950s, which I’ve updated for modern use.

I also design original patterns with a vintage twist, many of which are for sale here in my Ravelry store. My original work has also been featured by Twist Collective, Blue Sky Alpacas, Vermont Organic Fiber Company, Vogue Knitting magazine, and Interweave magazine. To have a look at some more of my work, please visit my website, www.retroknit.net.

You can read more about my exploits at my blog. I write about vintage patterns, about designing and new patterns, and occasionally about tasty cake and jam.
