Abstract

Inspired by Matt Parker’s talk, we set out to crochet a hexagonal torus. It was an interesting journey filled with multidisciplinary challenges, ranging from learning how to do mathematical modeling, converting the results to papercrafts, figuring out how to create designs under constraints, and developing novel crochet techniques to overcome shaping challenges.
