The BLANKnit Throw is a WOW piece no matter how or where you look at it. From the front, contrasting stripes knit in a classic garter stitch pattern, but look from the top or bottom and a knit stitch graphic will start to appear. This illusion knit is great for all levels, and is a “just one more row” kind of project.

This pattern is easy to follow and goes by quickly. Yarn substitutions can be easily made as long as the two yarns are solid contrasting colors and are smooth in texture. Add or subtract the chart repeats to easily adjust the size of the piece.

This pattern includes written instructions, two charts, and links to videos or text tutorials for the techniques used in the design.
