The Mathematics of Crochet
I remember thinking at school when will I ever in my “real life” use maths. Well much to my utter surprise I’ve come to the stark realisation that there is a link between mathematics and crochet. …
It is believed that the partnership between math and craft dates back to the invention of geometry where the repetitive patterns seen in ancient baskets and weavings first hinted at a mathematical subtext to the world at large. Dictionary.com defines a fractal as: A geometric pattern that is repeated (iterated) at ever smaller (or larger) scales to produce (self similar) irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical (Euclidian) geometry.
