A study of angles in beads and lace, showcasing my passion for mathematics. I sometimes compare math with knitting, both lace and equations can be overwhelming at first glimpse. However, once broken down into sections of knits, purls or multiplications, a new world opens up to us that is surprisingly attainable.

Aligning Angles has many straight angles in the motifs but the shawl has extra increases on the borders giving it more of a heart-shape. About 900 beads are required, I like to add them using a tiny crochet hook. The pattern is charted, wrong side rows are all purls.
