From the editors of the popular Making Mathematics with Needlework, this new collection of crafts projects highlights the relationship between mathematics and different kinds of needlework. Chapters start with an overview written for a broad audience that presents the interplay between a mathematical concept and the craft expression of the concept. This is followed by a section explaining the mathematics in more detail, and a section with suggestions for classroom activities. Each chapter ends with specific crafting instructions. Types of needlework included are knitting, crochet, needlepoint, cross-stitch, quilting, temari balls, beading, tatting, and string art

A new collection of craft projects highlights the relationship between mathematics and different kinds of crafts, including knitting, crochet, needlepoint, cross-stitch, quilting, beading and more.
