The Impossible Square
What began as an AI-generated image became a design challenge: could this seemingly impossible cable motif actually be knitted?
The answer is yes.
Impossible Square is an intricately textured cable panel featuring a striking 3D butterfly motif. Although the finished design looks complex, the cables settle into a satisfying rhythm, making it an engaging project for knitters who enjoy cables and charted patterns.
Use it as a blanket square, cushion panel, wall hanging, appliqué, or as the centerpiece of your own creative project. Whether displayed on its own or combined with other motifs, Impossible Square is designed to stand out.
The pattern is written for any yarn weight and includes charted cable instructions, clear written directions, and videos to guide you through every step.
