A pink crochet fish is in front of some spiky white coral. The fish has glittery eyes

Made a fish, now I’m hooked… guess I’m shore to make more!

Four colorful crochet objects in a 2 by 2 square on a tablecloth. Each is sewn out of traditional granny polygons in bright colors, and the complexity grows as you go clockwise from the upper right, where 4 granny triangles in red, orange, yellow, and blue are sewn into a little triangular pyramid. In the lower right, 5 granny squares in red, orange, yellow, blue, and cyan make an open cylinder with a collapsed tubular edge. In the lower left, 6 granny pentagons in the square colors plus purple form an undecipherable twisty mass. In the upper left, 7 granny hexagons in the pentagon colors plus green are sewn into a bumpier version of the 5-square tube whatsit. In fact, the 5-color and 7-color objects are tori (that is, each one is a torus, or a donut surface), and the 6-color object is a möbius band pretending to be a projective plane.

The same four colorful crochet thingies, but each is arranged so that the orange polygon is in the front center. This highlights the fact that orange always touches all the other colors. And that is the point of these objects: in each nugget of topological crochet, each color touches all the others. On the surface of a ball, the maximum number of colors you can achieve this with is four. That is why the other three objects are higher genus surfaces.

The four colorful crochet humdingers in different configurations, for fun. The tetrahedron in the upper right is just pyramiding as in the first photo. The torus in the lower right is flattened into a multilayered square that is mostly red and yellow on the front, with orange, blue, and cyan peeking out near two corners. The projective plane has the purple pentagon smoothed out at the front. The torus in the upper left is flattened into a multilayered equilateral triangle, with the front in orange, yellow, red, and cyan.

#CrochetAway #quickcrochet Quick is relative, but the doodads on the right went fast. The link is me describing the #topology principles in six minutes. Fifth gadget in the series is anti-quick: see me fail hard at making it in the video. 😉
