Illusion knitting is always impressive when it slowly dawns on the person looking at it that you have not only hand knit something, but you've managed to work a little magic too. The art of illusion knitting shows a different design when you look at the piece from a certain angle. A simple and effective knitting trick.
The way of the illusion knit can be a little hard to get your head around but help is at hand from Woolly Thoughts with their The World of Illusion Knitting. The site explains the maths and logic behind the patterns and also offers a bunch of free illusion knit patterns for you to try.

A neat little trick to learn to put a bit of magic in your stitching.
