Discover the magic of shadow knitting with this playful sock pattern. By knitting two contrasting (semi-)solid colors in simple stripes, a subtle illusion effect emerges: wavy lines appear to surface and add a three-dimensional twist.
The pattern is easy to follow—ideal for on-the-go knitting or during a beach vacation—and delivers surprisingly visual impact without complicated techniques.
