I’ve been taking inspiration from the past since… I can remember. And the more I learn to sew and knit my own clothes the more I lean into the possibility of crating a vintage inspired wardrobe for myself.

Astoria Top – Knitting Pattern
The knitted top search led me to a lot of beautiful tops, but I never felt truly confident that it would fit my body type. Most bralettes are designed with smaller chests in mind, which sometimes have made me sol jealous of cups A and B.

Stash Buster Headband – Free Knitting Pattern

They are super cute and no matter if your hair is long or short, they can keep it in place when you are active, help with a bad hair day, or just to add a cute detail to your outfit.

Bumblebee Knit Hat – Free Knitting Pattern
This hat is knit in the round, if you have never knit in the round, I recommend using the magic loop technique.

Plus, with circular needles, your project always stays together, which works great for knitting on the run, if you like me find some knitting time in your commute.
