The New York skyline has always thrilled me. When I worked in New York, the Empire State Building or the Chrysler Building reflected the afternoon sun or lit up the night as I gazed out my office windows.
When I moved to the Lehigh Valley, my fondness for skyscrapers deepened. The remnants of Bethlehem Steel can be found near my home. The remaining smoke stacks and crumbling buildings speak of decay to many outside our valley. The story is different for those of us who live here. We see the bridges and skyscrapers that were built from the steel manufactured in the Bethlehem Steel furnaces and feel proud.
I can only imagine what the onlookers thought as those steel beams rose as skyscrapers against the clouds. The beams gave structure and support for the floors, walls and windows. The stitch design reflects the numerous windows and beams.
This Möbius is a versatile accessory. Wrap it around your neck as a cowl - lift one wrap over your head as a hood. In the winter, use it as a cowl over your coat and switch it to a wrap when you are cozy inside. You can even tuck your hands in the twist to warm them on a chilly day.

The Skyscraper is knit flat and later joined with Kitchener stitch. You can either join it into a cowl or add a twist for a Möbius shape. The pattern stitch design is reversible so you never need to worry if the wrong side is showing.
