Hitomezashi patterns, which originate from traditional Japanese embroidery, are intricate arrangements of unit-length line segments called stitches. The stitches connect to form hitomezashi strands and hitomezashi loops, which divide the…
Two mathematical aspects of the centuries-old Japanese sashiko stitching form hitomezashi are discussed: the encoding of designs using words from a binary alphabet, and duality. Traditional hitomezashi designs are analysed using these two…
Extending a proposal of Defant and Kravitz [Discrete Mathematics, \textbf{1}, 347 (2024)], we define Hitomezashi patterns and loops on a torus and provide several structural results for such loops. For a given pattern, our main theorems…
This paper describes preliminary investigation of hitomezashi stitching designs created on the isometric grid. An imposed constraint is that only every second line of stitching in each of the possible three directions is present. Each…
Both Celtic knotwork and strips of hitomezashi stitching can be interpreted as being two-sided friezes wherein the patterns on the sides are interleaved. We prove which of the thirty-one two-sided friezes can, and cannot, be realized in…
Origami-based design holds promise for developing materials whose mechanical properties are tuned by crease patterns introduced to thin sheets. Although there has been heuristic developments in constructing patterns with desirable…
Pete discovered a strong combinatorial description of hitomezashi loops via a bijection to pairs of Dyck paths of the same height. Our main theorem provides an analogous description of hitomezashi loops of nonzero homology class on certain…
Kirigami tessellations, regular planar patterns formed by cutting flat, thin sheets, have attracted recent scientific interest for their rich geometries, surprising material properties and promise for technologies. Here we pose and solve…
Kirigami, the art of paper cutting, has become a paradigm for mechanical metamaterials in recent years. The basic building blocks of any kirigami structures are repetitive deployable patterns that derive inspiration from geometric art forms…
The principles of origami design have proven useful in a number of technological applications. Origami tessellations in particular constitute a class of morphing metamaterials with unusual geometric and elastic properties. Although…
Kirigami, the art of paper cutting, has been widely used in the modern design of mechanical metamaterials. In recent years, many kirigami-based metamaterials have been designed based on different planar tiling patterns and applied to…
Origami is an ancient art that continues to yield both artistic and scientific insights to this day. In 2012, Buhler, Butler, de Launey, and Graham extended these ideas even further by developing a mathematical construction inspired by…
This paper deals with a popular form of counted-thread embroidery: the cross-stitch. More precisely, we are interested in the minimal length of embroidery thread one need to fill a given picture. We give a complete answer to this problem…
Through the hands-on creation of two sashiko pieces of work - a counted thread kogin bookmark and a single running stitched hitomezashi sampler - participants will explore not only the living cultural history of this traditional Japanese…
We introduce equations for special metrics, and notions of stability for some new types of augmented holomorphic bundles. These new examples include holomorphic extensions, and in this case we prove a Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence…
Model stitching (Lenc & Vedaldi 2015) is a compelling methodology to compare different neural network representations, because it allows us to measure to what degree they may be interchanged. We expand on a previous work from Bansal,…
The field of rigid origami concerns the folding of stiff, inelastic plates of material along crease lines that act like hinges and form a straight-line planar graph, called the crease pattern of the origami. Crease pattern vertices in the…
We describe a system that lets a designer interactively draw patterns of strokes in the picture plane, then guide the synthesis of similar patterns over new picture regions. Synthesis is based on an initial user-assisted analysis phase in…
Bobbin lace is a fibre art form in which intricate and delicate patterns are created by braiding together many threads. An overview of how bobbin lace is made is presented and illustrated with a simple, traditional bookmark design. Research…
Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, has recently enabled the design of stretchable mechanical metamaterials that can be easily realized by embedding arrays of periodic cuts into an elastic sheet. Here, we exploit kirigami…
