Spacecraft

This is a very light and airy afghan, which could also be used as a hanging or doubled over and used as a shawl. (It might be seen as a partner to [*Square Snowflake*][1]) It is surface crochet on a very open crochet grid. It can be made using any yarn and hook. The yarn chosen will determine the finished size. The photo shows green surface crochet on a black grid. Behind the grid is a black backing. You can make your own grid or use any fabric with squares. The red version is on non-slip matting. It is a representation of a ‘space-filling curve’. There are several curves similar to this. Technically, this one is a *Hilbert open Peano curve*. Theoretically these curves cover every point on the surface until nothing is left. This can be imagined in mathematical theory but does not work in real life. This is not a conventional pattern. If you can crochet at all you can make this. Note: Our crochet patterns use UK terminology.
