Building upon previous explorations of crochet techniques as a method for generating textile fields, this exercise shifts the focus toward uncovering the latent membrane-like qualities embedded within crochet.

To test this, we created two sets of fabric fields—one composed of a 3-loop crochet stitch and the other of a 6-loop variation. These fields were then positioned within a defined bounding box, a spatial framework designed to both contain and provoke interaction between the two textiles. Through a process of sequentially pulling and anchoring corresponding points from each crocheted field, we initiated a network of tensions between the surfaces.

The resulting deformations produced complex, emergent forms, revealing how minor changes in loop count and anchoring sequences could radically alter spatial behavior. This exercise emphasizes crochet’s potential not only as material, but as a performative system for architectural and spatial experimentation.
