London Knitting 

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in two colors (Color A, Color B)

  • Color B should be a shade of purple similar to the color assigned to the TFL Overground Weaver Line 

  • For color A, I used acrylic Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn in Beige Heather. (I don’t know the name of the purple I used because my mom found it on the airplane!)

• Knitting needles appropriate for your yarn 

  • I used size US 8 (5 mm) straight bamboo needles 

• Tapestry needle

• Scissors 

​

Finished Size: 4 in. wide x 3 in. tall
