Shadow knitting, or illusion knitting, is a process of knitting such that the finished piece has a hidden image only viewable from an angle. The effect is created by alternating rows of two colored yarns so that the raised stitches from one row block out the flat stitches of another row.

The second and third are a simple block pattern for this instructable viewed straight on and then at an angle.

Similar effects occur in Tunisian crochet.
