Knit the City: Building Blocks

Knit the City: Building Blocks is 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, allowing for many unique mix-and-match opportunities.

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, a baby blanket, and a cushion cover.
