Illusion knitting, also known as shadow knitting, is a fascinating technique where a design appears or disappears based on the angle of view.

My finished shawl measurements are: 170 x 57 cm after blocking.

I have used 320 meters, 6-ply yarn for each colour. Main colour is black, and contrast colour is ombre leaf green/ grass/ frog/ fern/ bottle green.

I hope you will enjoy making it :)
