Description ~ An Illusion in the Shadows

Some folks call it Illusion knitting, other Shadow knitting, but whatever you call it, the results are truly amazing. Start the simplest of patterns (garter stitch and stockinette), add in two-color stripes, throw in some basic charts and presto wonderful designs that only reveal themselves when you look at the fabric the  "right" way. Begin learning the basics to creating this magical fabric by knitting a small simple project. Then go on to discover the secrets for creating your own designs. The fabric may be an illusion, but the shadow doesn't have to be the only one who knows how it is done.


Materials Needed ~ An Illusion in the Shadows

1 oz each of 2 contrasting colors of the same yarn (a smooth DK or worsted  weight) and needles 2 sizes smaller than would normally be used.
