Looking for something truly unique to knit? The Illusion Maze Baby Blanket brings a modern twist to classic knitting with an effective hidden design! At first glance, it appears to be a simple striped blanket – but as you shift your angle, a bold geometric pattern appears.
Two colors, a simple combination of knit and purl stitches – that’s all you need to create a magical visual effect! Whether you prefer soft neutrals or bold contrasts, the illusion will come to life with any two colors of your choice. Just decide which will be your Background Color and which will be your Design Color.
This pattern might look complex, but it’s actually simple enough for beginners. If you can knit and purl – you can do this! Just follow the row-by-row instructions and watch the geometric motif emerge beneath your hands.

The entire blanket is worked in two-row stripes of each color. Color changes occur in odd rows. All odd-numbered rows are always knit stitches. The illusion pattern is formed in even-numbered rows.
