Create your own magic with this striking modern shawl, made using the illusion knitting technique. The combination of colour and stitches creates a unique look to the shawl depending on which angle you view it from.

Believe it or not, all you need to know to create this shawl is knit and purl! Then you can leave it up to these simple stitches and the colours of the yarn to do all the work for you.

This pattern includes fully written instructions as well as charts with and without the edge stitches. Both a fully colour pattern as well as a black and white printer friendly version are available.

This design is easy to resize to the width and length you prefer, by simply adding or removing pattern repeats. The original pattern is written using four balls each of Scheepjes Metropolis and Downtown yarns, using all of the yarn. Depending on your tension, if you want to avoid playing yarn chicken, you may want to buy an extra ball of both.
