Molecule Knitting Charts

Please note for non-chemists: the charted molecule may be drawn in a slightly different orientation than the accompanying molecular structure. I have not yet tested these structures, but I want to make charts for more molecules available.

I may eventually complete the 20 natural amino acids. I decided to make charts for the ones that people would be able to recognize as molecular structures rather than just patterns (except for serine, which I think looks cute!)

Feel free to use these charts for your personal use, but they are not to be sold or reproduced on another web page.







To make this searchable: Amino acid knitting charts, molecule knitting chart, phenylalanine knitting chart, tyrosine knitting chart, glucose knitting chart, histidine knitting chart, tryptophan knitting chart, serine knitting chart, THC knitting chart, Capsaicin Knitting Chart.

Divine intervention!! Just read about Poetry Mittens on Knitting Daily and Binary Mittens on Ravelry and now I stumbled upon your charts. Have just the "nerd" for whom to make these...

Thank you!

ROFLMAO! And my husband thought I was bad for using serological pipettes for knitting needles when I forgot them at home! You have got me beat!

I'm loving this!
Just when I decide I need to knit chemistry socks... I find your charts!
I'm pondering how to convert them to texture....
