Computing Stitches & Crocheting Geometry

The paper "Computing Stitches and Crocheting Geometry" delves into the computability of crochet as a craft. It investigates the creation of crochet patterns for non-symmetrical three-dimensional objects using a computer algorithm. This algorithm generates patterns based on variables like material properties and the crafter's hand effect, which are determined through physical swatches. The study emphasizes the fusion of computational logic with hands-on crafting techniques, aiming to expand the potential of crochet in design and fabrication and to enhance communication of these methods through workshops and algorithmic development.
