This is for a pdf pattern for my Harry Potter House Scarf Illusion knit, it is set up for a scarf but you can use the charts to make cushion covers or whatever project you would like.

There are charts and written instructions for each of the 4 houses:
Gryffindor: hidden within the Gold and Crimson is a gold Griffin,
Ravenclaw: a silver Raven within the light blue/silver stripes,
Hufflepuff: the black badger in yellow/black stripes,
Slytherin: green snake within green/silver stripes!

Illusion knitting or Shadow knitting is very simple but effective method using basic knit stitches.

The illusion is created by combining Knit with Purl stitches in order to create a raised textured surface through positive and negative spaces. This means that you use Knit stitches to create the parts you want to be seen and Purl stitches to emphasise the Knit ridge.

The Scarf when viewed straight looks like stripes but then when seen from a slight angle, the raised purl stitches are seen and the pattern comes to life.

It looks impressive but is very simple to knit, as long as you can knit and purl.

There is a chart and also written instructions (I have written out but not tested as I used the charts)
