This simple striped design is intended as an introduction to Woolly Thoughts illusion patterns. When you look at the square from directly in front you see only narrow ridges of alternating colours. When you look from an angle you see broad stripes of the two colours. The square could be used for an afghan block or a washcloth.

The photographs show the square with a garter stitch border but you can omit the border, if you prefer.

You can use any thickness of yarn. The example shown used approximately 45 metres (50 yards) DK in each of the two colours. It measures approximately 25 cm (10”) square.

There was a minor error in the last row of the pattern. It has now been amended.
