A fun collection of stranded colorwork and intarsia knitting charts to make buildings inspired by iconic cities including London, Paris, Copenhagen, Sydney, Amsterdam, Prague and New York.

Australian designer, Jake Henzler who is known as Boy Knits World, has created knitted building blocks for classic buildings from well-known cities around the world. The designs are modular so they can be mix and matched to make your own unique buildings, for example, you can switch up the different styles of gables and windows and adjust the style of the buildings to create endless alternatives.

The buildings are knitted as separate blocks but they can be joined together to make blankets, throws and cushion covers as well as other accessories and homewares. There are guidelines for yarn amounts and the number of blocks needed to make three different sized projects for each city: a large blanket; and baby blanket and a cushion cover but you can use your knitted building blocks however you like – the world is your oyster!

So grab your needles and yarn and start your city break now with Knit The City!
