Détails du produit

Look directly at these windmills and you will see four small striped squares. Look from an angle and you will see windmills of pink and purple.

Pink triangles form one windmill, purple triangles form another. It isn’t possible to see a ‘solid’ windmill at one time. Two triangles of each colour are always ‘solid’. The others show the colour to varying degrees, depending on the angle. As you move round the windmill parts appear more clearly, then disappear again, in rotation.

Each of the four small squares is worked individually, joining them together as you go so you are only working with 23 stitches at a time.

You can use any thickness of yarn and the illusion will still work. The example shown was made in DK and used about 40 metres (45 yards) in each of the two colours. It is approximately 22 cm (9”) square. You can add a border to neaten the edges and make it lie flatter.

The square could be used for an afghan block or a washcloth, or as part of a garment.
