A fun collection of stranded colorwork and intarsia knitting patterns to make buildings inspired by iconic cities including London, Paris, Copenhagen, Sydney, Amsterdam, Prague and New York. Australian designer, Jake Henzler, is making a real name for himself with his knitted building blocks for classic buildings from well-known cities. 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 height and style of the buildings to create endless alternatives. There are also patterns for extra components including Roman numerals for dates and initials so readers can personalize the designs. This is a popular feature of Jake's designs based on comments on his Ravelry page like this one: Loved this project so much the ability to inject your own composition into each building whilst working within an easy framework made the project that much more fun! The buildings are knitted as separate blocks but can then be joined together to make blankets, throws and cushion covers as well as mittens, scarves and other accessories. We will include some project options in the book as well as the instructions for adapting, finishing and joining the blocks.
