Shadow Magic

Choose your colours carefully and they'll seem to float above the surface of this knitted cushion.

About

Shadow Magic uses diagonally knitted magic squares to create a 3D effect on the front of this cushion. Best results are achieved with very bright colours set against a white background and with pale grey shadows.

The back of the cushion is made up of simpler squares which can be arranged to make various patterns.
