Lover of biology or chemistry? Then this pattern is for you…

A rock n’ roll crochet wrap based on DNA double helix. An advanced beginner rectangular shawl pattern worked in ‘waves’ to create the illusion of helices with a contrast band of surface crochet across variegated chain stitches to give the impression of the AC / GT bases.

This pattern was designed with women working the STEM fields in mind. Show off your artistic ability alongside that juicy brain power!
