StitchFlow: Enabling In-Situ Creative Explorations of Crochet Patterns With Stitch Tracking and P...
summary
StitchFlow is a working system that records and reconstructs crochet activity using an IMU-embedded crochet hook and a foot switch for stitch signaling, classifying each action into real-time chain, single, and double crochet events. An algorithm groups stitches into row- and round-based patterns, lets users edit and compose rich documentation, and exports PDFs or editable flows. An 8-participant study shows the system reduces interruptions, preserves creative flow, and enables spontaneous exploration and easier sharing.
