| dc.description.abstract | Designing crochet patterns is a difficult, time-consuming task. Typically, an initial pattern is created and crocheted; after seeing how the object comes out, the pattern is modified and some amount of stitches are undone and remade, through some number of iterations. This process involves a lot of guesswork and the manual labor of physically crocheting. In this paper, we present a way of creating a 3D representation of a crochet pattern using a written pattern as input: we translate the written pattern into a graph and obtain a force-directed graph layout. The result is a 3D model that looks like the hand-crocheted pattern in shape and size, with the advantage that the designer does not need to physically crochet the pattern and can make adjustments based on the digital model. Our intended audience includes both professional designers as well as beginners, helping designers visualize their crochet pattern before investing the time and effort to physically make it. While our application is oriented towards amigurumi, it could be extended to work with clothing or other similar styles of crochet. | en_US |
