All supplemental materials and PDF pattern are available on my website. This includes my pattern “Three Knitted Cones” with instructions on how to make three different sized cones and requiring no math experience or background.

Pattern Notes
This pattern details instructions on how to make a mathematically accurate cone of any size or gauge. Some background information on cones and written instructions are provided. In addition, there are Excel documents that detail my calculations for the example as well as a template to help you with your own calculations

Size Information
Any size! Recommendations on how to choose your size cone can be found in the pattern.

Gauge Information
Gauge is calculated by knitting a swatch using 1x1 rib (kp repeat). There is more gauge information is in my pattern on page 3.

Materials Needed
Depending on the size of the cone you will need a different amount of yards of yarn. If you would like an estimate on the yards needed for specific cones, take a look at my pattern “Three Knitted Cones”.

Additionally, you will need knowledge on how to find the greatest common factor of a number and how to find the prime factorization of a number. You may also use an online calculator to do this.

Other materials are outlined in the pattern on page 2.

This pattern is a result of a collegiate senior capstone project which tied mathematics to creating knitted geometrical shapes.
