Illusion knitting sample, on Nicolai

Here is my kitty, Nicolai, showing you my latest project… Illusion knitting!

Illusion knitting is where a piece looks like stripes when you look at it head-on, but when you turn it and look at it from the edge-on, you see something else. In this case, it turns into a checker board pattern.

Here’s where I found the instructions (although they’re kind of confusing and need to be communicated better).

This was just a sample to practice on. It’s just a swatch of knitting. I’ll see about making a scarf or something with the skill, later. =)

P.S. I also learned how to knit with two different yarns at the same time, on this one. I want to do it some more!
