"This is a great book featuring a wonderful new technique."—Knitting

Do you believe in magic? If you don't, shadow
knitting will win you over. This form of knitting uses a simple technique of alternating
rows of dark and light yarn to produce a subtle patterning that appears and disappears
depending on the angle from which it's viewed. The mysteries of this clever technique
are explored and refined here by professional knitwear designer and author Vivian
Høxbro. As she did in Domino Knitting, Vivian introduces the basic principles
and techniques through clear, well-illustrated instructions followed by a spectacular
range of projects that include winged shawls, squared bags, a matching cap and
scarf, vests, sweaters, Japanese-style kimonos, and much more! Each project is
accompanied by step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs. For your next
knitted project, let your knitting needles be your wand and perform an optical
illusion that will leave everyone wondering how you did it.
Vivian Høxbro has been professionally designing
knitwear for twenty years. She designs for various Scandinavian yarn companies
and magazines, and spends her days giving workshops on knitting techniques. She
is the author of Domino Knitting (Interweave
Press, 2002), which features another knitting technique she brought to international
success. Vivian lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. To learn more about Vivian's designs,
