Keyboard Illusion Stripes

One octave of a keyboard in an illusion knit style. Illusion: knit and purl to give a slight surface texture. When viewed along the surface, the raised purl ridges show as the color (proud), and the (shy) knit pairs are hidden. Alternate two white (C1), two black. First row, RS, knit. Second row, WS, pattern. Groups of 4 rows make one row of overall pattern. Each key is made of seven such groups. Row 0 and rows 1-2 are white, 3-4 black, 5-6 white, 7-8 black, etc.
