The Revised Second Edition, published in 2025, contains all of the same patterns, with errata corrected & updated technical information.
This updated edition of Urban Knit Collection brings together 18 bold, architectural designs inspired by the rhythm, texture, and geometry of city life. Inside you’ll find garments and accessories featuring stranded knitting, cables, lace, and more — each project offering something new to explore.
Originally released in 2016, the new edition includes:
Corrected errata from the original release
An expanded section on locked floats, a technique for managing long yarn carries for cleaner, more consistent stranded knitting
Detailed photo tutorials for both two-handed and Continental methods of trapping floats on the knit and purl sides of the fabric
From striking wraps and graphic scarves to sweaters and accessories, each pattern blends thoughtful construction with eye-catching detail. Whether you’re drawn to strong lines, rich textures, or bold colorwork, this collection offers projects to engage your skills and inspire your creativity.
From city grates to garden gates, stained glass to satin sashes, the 1920s and 1930s were all about fantastic design. All of which can still be seen in today’s urban landscapes. Translated through the needles of knitwear designer Kyle Kunnecke, the geometric style, linear intersections, and marvelous motifs of the Golden Age have inspired the gorgeous collection of knitted garments and accessories for men and women found in Urban Knit Collection. Whether your style is uptown, downtown, or somewhere in between, Urban Knit Collection has you covered! Written for a range of skill levels, Kyle’s detailed patterns include tutorials on a variety of construction and finishing techniques, from choosing yarn and reading charts to locking floats. These 18 garments and accessories include sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, cowls and more. Each project invites you to stitch details of historic city sights that lead to contemporary finished projects for today’s streets.
