Gosper Curve Afghan and Trivets

This pattern is available from bookstore.ams.org for $10.00.

This pattern is part of a chapter in the book Figuring Fibers, and buying the pattern online gets you the entire chapter of the book.

The chapter includes a mathematical overview of fractal dimension, an overview of intermeshed crochet, detailed mathematics, and crochet patterns for trivets and an afghan.

There are instructions for making hexagonal and triangular crochet grids, two different trivets, and an afghan.

From the Chief Editor of the volume: “Chapter 2 by Kyle Calderhead discusses how to build a Gosper Curve fractal (aka flowsnake) in a manner similar to the way that the Hilbert curve is built up in iterative steps. Using the technique of intermeshed crochet, which is explained in the chapter, Calderhead gives directions for crocheting three practice trivets and a stunning Gosper Curve afghan.”
