Jake Henzler Knits Copenhagen’s Architecture

Ron K — Fri, 01 May 2020 11:26:00 +0000

Jake Henzler is a guy from Sydney who traveled to Copenhagen once and fell in love with the city. Unlike many other people who buy souvenirs, take photos, or write about their travels, Henzler decided to do something unique, he started knitting the buildings of Copenhagen. You can check out his work on Instagram where he runs an account called Boy Knits World.

He lived in Copenhagen for a year at one point, and while there, he hand-knitted a blanked panel made of typical Copenhagen buildings. The original blanket was made of six knitted buildings, each representing a different city district: Nørrebro Studios, Østerbro Studios, Hellerup Apartments, Nyhavn Hotel, Nørreport Offices, and Frederiksberg Apartments.

Life on the Edge • Almost there. A few more rounds and it’ll be ready to wash, dry and photograph. Luckily, the weather is getting *slightly* colder, so it’s not too much of a hassle working with a big blanket. • #copenhagen #københavn #buildings #blanket #knittedblanket #architecture #knit #knitting #cotton #yarn #windows #fairisle #wip #ravelry #copenhagenbuildingblocks > Link to patterns in bio. #школавязания #вязание #вязаниеонлайн #мастеркласс #описание #схема #пропряжу #пряжа #вязаниекрючком #тренд #длявдохновения #модноевязание #вязаниедетям #люблювязать #вязаниеонлайн

Baby Blanket – Block 4 • Some yolky yellow just in time for Easter. This block uses a few yarns and each has a slightly different thickness, but the colour is more important that an immaculate finish, and I’m trying to make use of cottons I already have before I buy more. > Link to patterns in profile • #copenhagenbuildingblocks #babyblanket #fairisle #knitting #diy #handmade #cotton #blanket #copenhagen #yarn #ravelry

Baby Blanket – Block 3 • A nice simple block this time. You have to have some negative space the keep the eye moving around a busy blanket. The white facade also reminds me of all the white exteriors and interiors of Copenhagen. In dark winter months it’s important to bounce as much light off of surfaces as you can. All of this recent staying indoors reminds me a lot of the voluntary isolation of Danish winter. > Link to patterns in profile • #copenhagenbuildingblocks #babyblanket #fairisle #knitting #diy #handmade #cotton #blanket #copenhagen #yarn #ravelry

Baby Blanket – Block 1 • I’ve decided to use small amounts of leftover cotton colours to start some blocks for a baby blanket. The little floral diamonds will be a feature that I’ll try to work into several blocks to make it unique. I’m not sure how big the finished blanket will be, or who it’s destined to keep warm, but some projects just need starting. > Link to patterns in profile • #copenhagenbuildingblocks #babyblanket #fairisle #knitting #diy #handmade #cotton #blanket #copenhagen #yarn #ravelry

Patterns A-F (link to patterns in bio) • So I did have the front six completed after all! The goal with this cushion cover is to make the whole thing using a restricted set of colours. With only a slight variation in the blue block, these are the six I planned as tiny illustrations some months ago. Swipe for the tiny cut-outs I used to work out colours and placement. • #cotton #blanket #fairisle #copenhagen #københavn #copenhagenbuildingblocks #knitting #yarn #cushion #handmade #ravelry
