Abstract
A mathematician and a textile practitioner both with an interest in textile knotting and a focus on research in textile
design have collaborated to analyze textile practice and realize novel knot designs through mathematical
characterization. The design process has made use of century-old drawing techniques used to represent knots and
braids. This paper demonstrates how the manipulation of these diagrams was utilized as a design tool to generate
and visualize novel patterns.
