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.

D'Amour Wrap by Kyle Kunnecke
The D’Amour Wrap is perfect for the knitter interested in a stranding adventure. The entire wrap is mapped out in a series of detailed charts to navigate the journey. At first glance, the charts appear symmetrical, but upon further exploration you’ll see that each side has its own variations, making it unique. Using the technique of locked floats (page 11) makes both the front and back beautiful. Once the stranded portion is complete, an applied I-cord edge finishes the wrap.
Don’t let the large charts stop you from tackling this gorgeous piece! Remember what I said earlier about the difference between difficult and time-consuming? Filled with geometric and stylistic designs, this wrap promises to be a showstopper.
Savoy by Kyle Kunnecke
Savoy is one of my favorite designs. I love how the coloring of the yarn shifts as it progresses up the garment and how its bold patterning demands attention. Charts detail the placement of each stitch. The fronts and back use the same chart, while the sleeves feature a centralized pattern surrounded by stripes. Because of Savoy’s repeating pattern, it’s actually easy to keep track of where you are in the chart once you begin.
Arabella by Kyle Kunnecke
Vertical, repeating motifs are the epitome of Art Deco, the style I think of as the universal marker of urban architecture in the United States. Arabella is a luxurious garment featuring naturally dyed yarn made of alpaca, cashmere, and silk. Its body is filled with simple patterning, while each sleeve holds one strip of lacework down its center. The finished piece is warm, lightweight, and timeless.
Apollo by Kyle Kunnecke
Celebrating the theatre facades of the Art Deco era, the Apollo Wrap is designed with bands of intarsia garter stitch. Working from the top down, the texture of garter stitch builds continuity through the piece. Using solid or kettle dyed yarns will help to highlight the angled sections. The generous size of this wrap also makes it ideal as a lap blanket.
Rosema Wrap by Kyle Kunnecke
This wrap could be worn constantly in the cooler months and perhaps even in the summer if, for example, your office constantly runs the air conditioner. The merino yarn is luxurious, and I love how it knits up in this easy lace and cable pattern. The edging is thick and creates structure while offering a bit more warmth for the neck. Worked from side to side, the sleeves are picked up from the body and worked down.
Town Square Hats by Kyle Kunnecke
I see colorwork motifs everywhere I go—from the scrolls in ironwork—to the cascades of water in a town-square fountain. This pattern pays homage to the careful planning that was involved in the creation of town squares, full of icons, public buildings, and landmarks. The two-color ribbed brim of the first hat holds a repeated vertical fountain motif. Beneath this colorful brim lives a band of stretchy, single-color ribbing. The alternate chart provides a more geometric option.
The yarn I selected for this project has so much yardage that I created another chart for a second hat. Both samples were worked using the same two skeins of yarn.
While working the charts, it’s helpful to lock the floating yarn every other stitch. Keeping the yarns in the same order will help keep consistent color dominance and also make the inside of the project almost as lovely as the outside.
Godfrey by Kyle Kunnecke
Inspired by stacked brickwork on an old building in New York City, this saddle shoulder cardigan is a classic design that boasts an angled textured pattern. Paring the design down to its basic form and using exquisite materials, Godfrey is the kind of cardigan that will stay in style as long as its color lasts. Keeping the first and last few stitches in stockinette while working the individual pieces creates a beautiful finish at the sides and under the arms.
Ellington Mittens by Kyle Kunnecke
Stranded colorwork creates a wonderfully insulating fabric because it traps air between the yarns. The small loop-and-button closure keeps these mittens together when not in use. It also provides a lovely opportunity to use a unique vintage button!
Sunburst Shawl by Kyle Kunnecke
Beads radiate from the center of this half-circle shawl. Want the pattern to make a stronger statement? Use beads in a contrasting color. Of course, using so many beads means a heavier shawl, but I love how substantial it feels. Take your time, and be sure to buy more beads than you need— inevitably, some won’t fit easily on the crochet hook. Also, don’t let the quantity of beads required scare you away. I didn’t count them until after the pattern was completed, and it surprised me how many I used.
Edwin by Kyle Kunnecke
This vest is all about structure and symmetry. Beginning at the center, mirrored lines of traveling stitches angle, overlap, and intersect with each other. The cabled panels are separated by narrow stockinette- stitch columns. The back is also filled with these cables, and once assembled, the intersecting lines join together at the seams. My favorite detail has to be how the center column of stitches travels seamlessly into the collar.
Zephyr Scarf by Kyle Kunnecke
Surrounded by a seed-stitch border, the pattern in this scarf found its inspiration in the wrought-iron doors of a public school in Romania. The Greek key pattern lends itself to this type of repetitive pattern. Even after it was transformed into fabric, it reminds me of the iron gates guarding doorways throughout downtown San Francisco.
Deco Cardigan by Kyle Kunnecke
This classically styled unisex cardigan draws inspiration from a 1930s stained-glass light fixture with panes stacked in a cascading brick pattern. Placed at the sides and under the arm, the intarsia adds just a touch of drama. Want a little less contrast? Choose two shades of the same color for a subtler pattern.
Dorian Cowl by Kyle Kunnecke
The Dorian cowl honors urban public transit maps by interpreting them
as a series of traveling stitches and cables. Gently spun wool yarn adds
to Dorian’s insulating properties, and the large chart keeps the project
interesting. Of course, the provisional cast-on takes a little extra time, but I believe the I-cord edging is quite worth the effort. But what do I love most about cowls? They are perfect for keeping the neck warm, and there’s no chance they might get caught in a car door or fly away with a brisk breeze.
Ritz Cowl by Kyle Kunnecke
This colorwork cowl showcases a bold repeating oval motif connected by seed beads. I am particularly enamored with the way the seed beads sparkle but aren’t noticed right away. They add a touch of magic to this cowl, while the applied I-cord adds structure and stability. Want a bolder look? Consider using a bead in a color complementary to your contrasting-color yarn.
Arches Scarf by Kyle Kunnecke
The stacked, pierced arches of a stone grill seen in the auditorium of an old theater sparked the inspiration for this scarf full of undulating cables. The repeating pattern is mirrored, dancing down the length of this wonderfully wide scarf, which is high enough to protect the back of your neck from a frosty wind.
Skyscraper by Kyle Kunnecke
One of my most vivid childhood memories is from when my dad brought me and my sisters to the roof of a skyscraper he was building in Louisville, Kentucky. Preparing us for the photo, he had me stand on the rooftop ledge and backed up with the camera to get us all in the frame. As he snapped that photo with the entire world behind us, I felt as though I was going to plummet to my demise there and then—but I didn’t!
Worked in the round, this hat features twisted traveling stitches and carefully concealed decreases that mirror and honor the thoughtful
engineering that goes into skyscraper construction. Using the German
twisted cast-on at the beginning of the hat allows for a touch more stretch at the brim.
Brandt by Kyle Kunnecke
This men’s pullover features a quiet color work pattern on the front, with a textured stitch filling the arms and back that lies flat, isn’t stretchy, and offers texture and a thickness similar to that of the front. For even more impact, consider selecting colors with greater contrast for the front panel.
