Australian Birds x 3 Shadow Art Pattern - Download

This is a downloadable pattern. You will get an instant download following payment.

These pictures are created with shadow knitting. They feature three Australian birds, the Kookaburra, Fairy Wran and a Cockatoo. The branch they are sitting on runs from picture to picture.

The great thing about shadow art is they are great for hallways or narrow walkways. Which art do you get that are best viewed from the side. When you stand in front of them the image disappears.

Shadow knitting involves knit and purl, there is no actual colour work or floats to content with. It can be easily completed by any level of knitter, even if your a beginner.

Pattern: The pattern has information, general instruction on colour choice. There are written instruction or a chart to follow, which ever you prefer. The finished product fit on a 41 x 51 cm canvas or you could make into a cushion cover or anything else your imagination takes you.

Stitches: Knit, Purl, Cast on, Cast off

Materials: You need 100g of 2 colours (200g in total) for each picture. Help to pick your colours is included in the pattern. I used 8ply / DK yarn for this project. You can use any yarn but it will alter the size and the amount of yarn used. I used a 3.5mm circular needle, 120cm. You can use smaller for more definition.
