does it have to be sc or could you do any stitch that you want?

So thats part of the key, nice tight stitches, nice smooth yarn and you get closer and closer to mimicking illusion knitting.

However, it can be done in dc (bot this graph per se) but it will look like a blurred pic head on and a little less blurry from the side, not as defined.

You can also achieve a similar look in Tunisian.

on the row you work where you crochet in the back loop only there will be the front loop left over, when you go across the next row that is the loop you want to crochet into when it states f on the graph for this technique it does have to be sc. Illusion knitting you want the stitches to be tight and smooth and thats what the attempt in translating it to crocheting is here. My stitches could actually be done tighter for the sample piece and on a smaller hook, I used a 5.5 mm with ww acrylic in the pics. If I was making a project with this I would do probably a g or maybe up to an h hook in ww.So thats part of the key, nice tight stitches, nice smooth yarn and you get closer and closer to mimicking illusion knitting.However, it can be done in dc (bot this graph per se) but it will look like a blurred pic head on and a little less blurry from the side, not as defined.You can also achieve a similar look in Tunisian.on the row you work where you crochet in the back loop only there will be the front loop left over, when you go across the next row that is the loop you want to crochet into when it states f on the graph
