This project began as a digital pattern exploration inspired by geometric rhythm and traditional Anatolian motifs. I designed the pattern digitally using a dot-grid approach, then translated it into a physical form using hand-dyed yarn. The final piece was a crocheted shoulder bag that preserved the color logic and rhythm of the original design while becoming a fully functional, wearable object.
A pattern is never just a surface—when carried into craft, it becomes identity, memory, and functionality stitched together. This work represents the harmony between digital design and tactile tradition.
To explore how modern digital patterns can be transformed into meaningful physical objects using traditional techniques. This was also a personal journey in slowing down, connecting my hands with my digital mind, and creating something I could carry through the day—both literally and symbolically.
-
Translating precise digital geometry into organic yarn loops required several recalibrations.
-
Maintaining the color structure while adapting to the stretch and flow of the material.
-
Hand-making the entire piece took weeks of detailed work and problem-solving with each section.
-
-
Successfully bridged the digital and handmade.
-
Transformed a digital pattern into a tangible object that reflects both aesthetic precision and emotional warmth.
-
Strengthened my understanding of how patterns live beyond screens—how they can be worn, used, and felt.
