NYC Knits
I recently visited New York City as a chaperone for my child's chorus trip. Inspired by the Big Apple, I found a few patterns that draw their inspiration from this bustling city.

Tanis Gray has published a beautiful stranded colorwork cowl called New York City at Night. It utilizes DK weight yarn, and US 4 / 3.5 mm needles. The cowl gets its inspiration from the New York City skyline's massive buildings and the city's iconic neon lights. |

Berroco has a one-shoulder top called New York City Lights. It is knit in DK weight yarn with US 7 / 4.5 mm and US 5 / 3.75 mm needles. You can get the twinkling city lights effect by adding beads to your garment while knitting. If you don't already have one, a Fleegle Beader is an awesome tool for adding beads to your knits. |

Lauren, AKA Whodunnknit, has a whole book of NYC themed knits called Stitch New York: 20 Kooky Ways to Knit the City and More. With these patterns you can knit yourself a Lady Liberty as well as an Empire State Building. And if you're going to knit the Empire State Building, you'll need a King Kong to go on it. |
You can find several other patterns on Ravelry by searching New York City. If you do try any of these patterns, make sure you let me know!
