GENERAL INFOMATION:
UNDERSTANDING ILLUSION/SHADOW KNITTING
Illusion Knitting uses flat Knitting (Knits on the
right side, Purls on the wrong side) and raised Knitting (Purls on the right
side, Knits on the wrong side) to raise the colors you want. This way, when you
look at your item straight on, you see stripes of the two colors in your
project and when you look at your project from a different angle, you see the
magic of Illusion Knitting.
To Illusion knit one row on a regular chart it
takes 4 rows of Knitting. For this
pattern, the first two rows are in one color (the heart color OR the image you
are wanting to stand out) and the second two rows are in the background
color. Starting on the right side, the
first and every odd row number are Knit across all stitches. On the wrong side (every even numbered row)
you will Knit the stitches you want to raise, and Purl the stitches you want to
lay flat.
Here is the video for this project:
As my blog consists mostly of crochet
people I have made parts of the video very simple so that crocheter’s can learn
to knit. Speed thru the parts you don’t
need.
Here is the link if you need it instead of watching the video here:
INSTUCTIONS:
Using your background color with a long tail cast
on – CO 5 stitches, PM, CO 21 stitches, PM, CO 5 stitches.
Knit 1 row BACKGROUND COLOR (in this pattern the
yellow is the background color)
This is the FILLER
section;
Row 1: K31 HEART COLOR
Row 2: K5, P21, K5 HEART COLOR
Row 3: K31 BACKGROUND COLOR
Row 4: K31 BACKGROUND COLOR
Repeat
above rows 3 or 4 times
NOTE: THE PINK 5 SQUARES TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF
THE ACTUAL HEART ON THE CHART ARE JUST THE BORDER STITCHES. THE ACTUAL PATTERN IS FOR THE HEART BUT DOES
INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BORDER.
Charts are normally read from the bottom up, right
to left on all odd row numbers and from left to right on all even row
numbers. As this chart is the same when
read from right to left or left to right you can read from right to left on all
rows. Start in the bottom right corner
as line 1.
You can work strictly
from the chart above, instead of reading the pattern below if you’d like and
for each line of the chart do the following 4 rows:
Row 1: (heart color) knit one row plain
Row 2: (heart color) knit the border, purl the
non-heart pattern, knit the heart pattern, purl the non-heart pattern, knit the
border
Row 3: (background color) knit one row plain
Row 4: (background color) knit the border, knit
the non-heart pattern, purl the heart pattern, knit the non-heart pattern, knit
the border
If you are going to
work strictly from the chart and are going to work a scarf, you must see the
instructions at the end of the written instructions for the
second half of the scarf as you must reverse some of the rows around.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A
SQUARE AND A SCARF:
FOR A SQUARE: – BIND
OFF (SEE VIDEO). CUT YARN, WEAVE ENDS.
FOR A SCARF:
Repeat rows 1 to 44 plus
the number of filler rows between each heart as many times as you wish for one
half of your scarf. Once you have
reached the half way point, begin working the pattern slightly
differently. Written instructions are
below this explanation.
GENERAL INFORMATION AGAIN:
This is just some
information if you are interested in knowing what happens now. If not, skip down to the instructions
below. You will reverse some of the the
four knitted rows it takes to work one line of the chart. You would be working
the very top line of the chart – LINE 11 – working from top to bottom but the
instructions change now.
First - Row 43
Second - Row 44
Third - Row 41
Fourth - Row 42
Then you would go down
a line of the chart and work
First – Row 39
Second – Row 40
Third – Row 37
Fourth – Row 38
Notice you are not
working from the bottom of the written instructions backwards but that you are
working the instructions within each line reversed. Ie… 43, 44, 41, 42 instead of 44, 43, 42, 41
