Crocheting Mathematics

Abstract
Crochet provides a superior method for the production of two-dimensional surfaces from one-dimensional material. Compared to any of the other known processes to generate constant flat, spherical or hyperbolic shapes, it is the most flexible and precise way to build a dynamical system with very simple local rules and with very high precision of the intrinsic curvature.
