Kimberly Chapman has several knitted patterns of coils and helices on her website. Most of them are snakes, but…one of them is a DNA helix!
Baby’s First DNA
From the site:
“This is a knitted model of DNA, complete with GC/TA base pairs represented by orange-green bars with a pointed join and blue-yellow bars with a stepped join (because there weren’t enough stitches to make a wave or curve), replicating the standard simplified DNA model. As you can see from the pictures, it also makes a good toy insofar as it holds its shape while squished or stretched, because it is stuffed firmly with cotton balls.”

Nice, thanks for thinking of us, knitters.
This is also “knitted DNA”! 🙂
