Looking for something truly unique to knit? The Illusion Maze Throw Blanket brings abstract beauty to life through the magic of illusion knitting. At first glance, it appears to be a simple striped blanket – but as you shift your angle, a bold geometric pattern appears. The illusion is created by alternating two contrasting colors and using only knit and purl stitches - easy enough for confident beginners. Just follow the row-by-row instructions and enjoy the magic unfolding beneath your hands. Choose any two colors with strong contrast for the best visual effect. Whether you prefer classic monochrome or a bold, modern palette, this pattern is sure to leave an impression.
