This pattern was inspired by the view from my lower Manhattan window of towering skyscrapers, each peppered with windows of different sizes and shapes. Boxes and Towers uses construction similar to log cabin knitting where bold strips of colors combine to create a playful, graphic wrap. Have fun selecting six colors of Miss Babs Yowza Minis to create your own unique combination, or choose a 6-color set.
