Black and white generative knit scarf made by Fabienne Serriere of KnitYak, 2018

KnitYak is where Seattle’s tech and apparel communities intersect. Programmer Fabienne Serrière launched KnitYak in 2015. The company uses computer code to create scarves with an industrial knitting machine. Every scarf is sold with a printout of its code. Members of the computer-and-tech community are her biggest clients, which may be because KnitYak’s designs reflect their area of expertise. For this scarf, triangles are a clue. Rule 90 of the elementary cellular automata produces this distinct triangle pattern, called the Sierpinski triangle.
