Abstract

Two forms of symmetry which plane patterns can possess are the traditional wallpaper symmetries and the counterchange symmetries enumerated by H.J. Woods. Intermeshed crochet is a technique which may possess, not only plane symmetries, but symmetries relating the back of the work to the front of the work. We explore how which of these new symmetries are realizable, and in what combinations they can be realized within a single work.
