I have now collected together all our current illusion shawls patterns. Some of these have ‘pictures’ like our illusion art. Others have colour effects that form patterns, not pictures. Some people would describe these as shadow knitting. It is difficult to draw a line between illusion knitting and shadow knitting.

As with all illusion knitting, when you look straight at the knitting you only see narrow stripes. Most of these shawls have the stripes running vertically. A few have a clever construction that results in stripes that form right angles.

Several of our illusion art patterns are also suitable for converting to shawls.
