Tokyo Trains

Tokyo Trains is a knitted blanket based on a range of train lines in the Tokyo rail network. It includes charts for the livery designs of trains from lines like the Ginza Line, the Marunouchi Line, the Chuo-Sobu Line and the Keihin-Tohoku Line. The colours and designs of the trains can easily be adapted. The banket is knitted flat as a single colourwork panel, with instructions for a simple crochet edge. To complete this project, you will need approximately 450gm of 4-ply yarn (1200m), comprising approximately: • 250gm white • 85gm medium grey • 45 dark grey • 18gm each red and yellow • 13gm blue • 6gm (17m) each emerald green and light blue • 3.5gm (10m) each pink, magenta, leaf green • 2.5gm (7m) each lavender, gold • 1gm (3.5m) orange The smooth finish of 4-ply cotton provides for a fine, lightweight result. The project can also be made using wool and/or a thicker yarn and larger needles, all of which will produce a heavier blanket. The finished size should be approximately 88 x 98cm.
