DESIGN:
Skyscraper is a triangular wrap that starts from a point and increases in width along the left edge. Constructed using two contrasting yarns with long repeats of colour, I-cord edges lead to a ribbed panel to finish. Only two different colourways are used and just one colour is worked per row meaning that Skyscraper is easier to knit than it looks. If you can knit, purl, M1L (instructions included) and slip a stitch then you can build your very own skyscraper.

YARN:
2 x any fingering yarns (420m each) with long repeats, or two single colours. Total: 840m (918yds approx).

NEEDLES:
US 2.5 (3mm) circular needles; 40” (100cm) cable.

US 6 (4mm); any length to cast off / bind off.

GAUGE:
24 sts x 50rows blocked (10cm square). Please note Skyscraper uses up both skeins/balls. You will have very little yarn left over. If you do not get gauge please ensure you have extra yarn or knit fewer (complete) repeats.

NOTIONS:
Tape measure, tapestry needle, scissors, blocking mat, blocking wires and/or pins.
