This paper seeks to report an experience of teaching and artistic exploration of the crochet technique through the use of a generative algorithm that produces circular crochet patterns. The experience took place during the Fashion Design course at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Crochet as a textile technique is deeply rooted in traditional practices, allowing little room for artistic and poetic exploration. The introduction of the generative algorithm with autonomous behavior sought to provoke students' critical and artistic thinking, promoting technical thinking in a spontaneous and time-consuming way. The result was a collaborative work configured by a large crochet lace created by the students, associating tradition and innovation, that provided an alternative insight into the use of computing in textile artistic exploration.
