Optical Illusion Spiral

Granny squares can be pretty and playful, and this Optical Illusion Spiral proves it. This easy granny square pattern involves alternating the center portion of the square so that the design looks multidirectional. This square makes a stellar addition to any crochet project. It's an interesting accent for afghans, handbags, accessories, and more. The trick is to use colors that are similar in hue. That way, people won't be able to tell which part of the design is raised.
