Product Details
Illusion knitting uses the texture of smooth knit stitches and raised purl stitches, combined with stripes of colour, to produce a unique design. When tilted away from the eye to view at an angle, the raised purl stitches are the only ones visible and the hidden design appears!
Many illusion knitting patterns use only two colours, but I’ve designed these convertible flip-top mittens with stripes of four colours so you will see a full-colour cupcake, complete with cherry on top.
Instructions are written out in full, but I have also included a chart for the illusion portion.
