Knitted origami

Abstract

Techniques are presented for embedding horizontal, vertical, and 45(circle) diagonal crease lines into garter stitch knitted fabric. While these are mostly based on standard lace knitting stitches, the horizontal creases use double-cable-crossed elongated stitches in a non-standard way. This crease library suffices to knit a model of a square twist, a foundational origami tessellation unit.
