Scientific Crocheting - A Proposal

Abstract

This article draws an unconventional bridge between the art of crocheting and the intricate world of chemistry. Crocheting can serve as a tactile model for understanding chemical synthesis, structure and emergent properties, with parallels between the manipulation of crochet patterns and chemical codes. The aim is to nurture what we need most in next-generation scientists: confronting the unexpected, creativity and curiosity.
