I've now done a couple of trefoils. Started using the softball as help to position the initial chain but I found that wasn't helpful and used my left-hand fingers instead. Locking in the twists requires a lot of checking and re-checking but in the end all flows very well if you set it right. As I haven't really grasped knot theory, I'm not sure how to use crochet to make 3d versions of other knots.
That's great that you've had success! This is the kind of project you need to try many times to get it right! If you're interested in making more surfaces like this, I made a video giving a generalized algorithm to make these patterns: ua-cam.com/video/cas01tsYeHo/v-deo.html Also, Shiying has her own channel where she gives tutorials on a couple more designs: www.youtube.com/@epimono/videos Happy crocheting!
Úžasné! To musím zkusit. Budu mít dárky pro všechny matematiky v rodině a mezi kamarády. :)
Incredible crochet!!! ☺️
I do not quite understand but boy is it beautiful! 😊

Happy crocheting!
Congratulations on being in the NYT on Einstien shapes.
that is a beautiful crochet :o
❤️❤️
love it....
let's make cool stuff!! inspiring
