NYC Skyline Afghan

Lion Brand^® Vanna's Choice^®

GAUGE:

17 sts + 23 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

Seed Stitch
Row 1: *K1, p1; rep from * to last st, k1.
Row 2: P the knit sts, and k the purl sts.
Rep Row 2 for Seed st.

NOTES:

1. Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
2. Use a separate ball of yarn for each color. Twist yarns on WS to prevent holes.
3. Chart is worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS). Follow Chart from right to left on RS rows, from left to right on WS rows.
4. Vertical stripes on buildings and all windows are worked in duplicate stitch when knitting is complete.
5. Zigzag lines on top tiers of Chrysler building are embroidered straight sts, done when knitting is complete.

Charts appear in the following order: top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.

Keeping first and last 9 sts in Seed st for border, continue to follow Charts until Row 209 has been completed.
With A, work in Seed st for 2 in. (5 cm) for top border. Bind off.
