Free Patterns Coming Soon !

Welcome to Free Patterns
On this page, you'll find some new Illusion, also called Shadow, knitting patterns. FREE For starters, here's a double diamond pattern that I designed and used to make a tote bag. The photo will be posted soon. It's a long pattern with over 100 rows so please, if you find any errors, let me know. Thank you for your interest and come back often as I'll be posting more later.
Here's a great tip: print out the chart and enlarge it if you need BUT put it in a page protector and use those dry markers to mark your pattern all you want. Keep track of the row your on, etc.

Illusion Double Diamonds

You may want to print the chart out and enlarge it a bit and use a highlighter to color every two rows starting with Row 3. So Rows 1 and 2 are not colored, Rows 3 and 4 are colored, 5 and 6 are not and so on. Always remember the first row of each color change is always a knit row.
I used knitting needles size 8 and worsted weight yarn. It measures finished: 16" wide X 18" long. I think for a firmer fabric, you should use a smaller needle.
CO 63 with color A in any cast-one you like. If you want it wider, cast on more but remember to add those stitches only at the beginning and the end of each row. I couldn’t add color to my chart so remember to start with row 1 and 2 which will be color A. Row 3 and 4 changes to color B.
This is a very long pattern with over 100 rows. I used to it make a tote bag. What I did was CO with color A but you could use either one just so you continue going back and forth between the two colors. If you have any question, please email me at kma2053@gmail.com
Have fun!!
