Abstract

In this paper, I discuss my explorations in generating patterns for two-color mittens as they were knit. By combining the techniques of stranded knitting and generative art, I was able to develop a pattern that is both pleasurable to knit and produces an interesting pattern on the finished mittens. After sharing an example of a pattern that can be knit generatively, I calculate the uniqueness of each type of mitten knit using these techniques.
