Strawberry Pi

Discover the art of pi knitting, a technique designed to achieve beautifully flat circular knitting while ensuring that your patterns maintain their integrity. Mastering the concept of evenly spacing increases can be more challenging than it initially appears. If you increase too quickly, your knitting may warp, distorting the pattern and compromising its aesthetic. Conversely, if your increases are too sparse, your knitting could end up puckering, leading to an unsightly finish. Enter Zimmerman’s pi increase formula, a revolutionary approach that provides a solution for achieving seamless, flat circular knitting. This method employs exponential growth, where every increase row doubles the number of stitches, and to keep everything balanced, the number of rows between each increase also doubles. This clever technique allows knitters to fully utilize the malleability of knitting stitches, ensuring that your work lies flat and retains its shape. As Neil Gaiman humorously notes, “They are simply numbers and cannot thus be right or wrong [...]. What I trust that I am saying is that all numbers are by their nature correct. Well, except for Pi, of course. I can't be doing with Pi. Gives me a headache just thinking about it, going on and on and on and on and on....” With our collection of expertly crafted knitting patterns, both free and premium, you will find the guidance you need to excel at pi knitting and create stunning projects.
