Experienced craftsmen know how much they like knitting with knitting needles. And if you knit not just a canvas, but to tie a pattern, then only a strong fatigue can tear off this exercise. Embossed and openwork, dense and multicolored jacquard - there are a lot of patterns for knitting. One of the most interesting varieties of patterned knitting with knitting needles is the technique of shady knitting, in which patterns are created by simply alternating the front and the back of the hair, and as a result, these patterned patterns are obtained. About how to knit shadow patterns with knitting needles and we'll talk in more detail.

As you can see, patterns of shady knitting are very simple and easily obey even the most inexperienced master. On the schemes of shady knitting, it is customary to designate only the front rows. In the front rows, the loops of the pattern are usually tied off by the facial smoothness, and the loops of the background by the reverse side. In the back rows, there are two possible ways of untying the pattern: the first - all the loops are cut out according to the pattern, and the second - all the loops are tied with the wrong side. In the second case, the drawing is more voluminous. As a result, on the obverse side of the canvas, a relief pattern is obtained, and on the reverse - its "negative" or "shadow" display. To make shadow patterns look good for them, you need to choose the right thread - they should be thick enough and not fluffy.
Most often, shadow patterns are used when knitting various knits, stitches, etc. with knitting needles. But the patterns of shady knitting and clothing are also good.

Very often beginner needlework techniques of shady knitting are confused with the technique of illusory knitting, in which patterns are also created by alternating the face and the reverse surface, but they are visible only at a certain angle. The difference between these two techniques is that for the knitting of illusory patterns, threads of two contrasting colors will be required.
