Our illusion knits fall into two main categories.
Patterns are available for both categories.
Illusion Art
These knitted panels are primarily intended to be used as pictures, hanging on the wall. View them from immediately in front and you will see nothing but stripes; view them from an angle and the picture will be revealed. Some are intended to be viewed from below, others from the side. They could also be incorporated into items such as scarves, cushions and afghans.
Illusion Artefacts
These are patterns for complete items incorporating illusion knits. Most of the charts could also be used for purposes other than those shown on the front of the pattern.

Patterns are available if you want to knit your own. Patterns contain the chart and instructions for knitting the panel. There is no information about how to use them as part of something else. Because they are quite large many of the patterns contain several pages of charts. The chart appears once in its complete form and also in a larger version spread over several pages, which can be printed out and pasted together.
There are various ways to hang a panel. You could add a border all round to look like a frame or, more simply, attach Velcro (hook side) to a narrow strip of wood and press the knitting gently onto it.
We mount most of our pictures on thin board by working a narrow facing that folds to the back so the board can be slipped between the facing and the main part. The facing is then be taped in place.
National Emblems
UK emblems and flags.
Illusion Lettering
Alphabets for use in illusions.
