Calendar Cubes

Introducing a unique perpetual calendar made from two creatively designed cubes! These cubes can be easily rotated to find any desired date, showcasing a clever arrangement of numbers that seamlessly fit onto all their faces—an intriguing feature that may surprise those who haven’t encountered this concept before.

This versatile pattern includes clear instructions for two distinct crafting versions: one for stitching on plastic canvas, resulting in lightweight cubes that maintain their shape perfectly, and another for knitting enthusiasts. For added durability and structure, these cubes can be filled with materials such as wood, foam, or plastic cubes. If you prefer a softer option, consider filling them with rice, polyester beads, or ball bearings, turning them into fun juggling balls or stress-relievers.

The cubes demonstrated in the accompanying photos have been crafted using DK yarn, but feel free to experiment with any yarn thickness you like. Keep in mind that the size of your finished cubes will vary based on the type of yarn you choose, allowing for a personalized touch in your project.

This innovative design is brought to you by the talented mathekniticians, Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer, who blend mathematics with creativity in their knitting patterns. Whether you're looking to enhance your crafting skills or simply want to create a functional and decorative item, this perpetual calendar cube pattern is the perfect project for you. Embrace the joy of knitting while making a practical piece that can brighten up your home or office!
