Shadow Knitting

The next resurrected UFO is a sweater I am making for DS out of Vivian Høxbro's book, Shadow Knitting. Can you see the square?

Bagel says, let me see, Mom!

This sweater is flying along now. I am using Rowan's wool cotton which has got to be one of my favorite yarns ever. My older DS wants one of these sweaters now, too. I'll have to look at the book again and hope there is another interesting shape, as I am not so keen on knitting another square.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a shadow knitting pattern suitable for a 7yo? (I am not sure his teacher would appreciate the skull and crossbones I have seen on the internet). Leave me a comment.
