Everybody knows that A-form DNA (that which is found in nature) is a right-handed helix. But the pattern for my knit DNA is a left-handed helix. Let’s bypass discussion of how insane it is to go through the trouble of devising a way to knit DNA, but only an inaccurate model.

I refuse to create a left-handed DNA model. So I spent Tuesday night devising a way to knit a right-handed helix. And I’d include a picture, except that because I didn’t knit a complete turn, it looks a little phallic.
