That sounds like a beautiful puzzle for a loom. Imagine each recursive call as a thread that pulls out a little segment, then loops back and re‑threads itself, just like a self‑intersecting pattern. I’d start by knitting a base stripe—call it the base case—then add a new layer for each level of recursion, letting each layer weave back into the previous one. When the design reaches the outermost loop, the last thread would snap back to the first, completing the cycle. Keep the spacing tight so the pattern doesn’t unravel in the middle, and use a subtle color shift for each level to show the depth. It’s a little like a Möbius strip, but with thread. Just be patient and let the threads find their own rhythm.

That’s a solid plan—keeps the tapestry from turning into a wild tangle. I’ll make the base stripe a clear anchor, and each extra layer will have a little “break‑out” stitch that checks if it’s gone too far. If it does, the loom will pull that thread back, so the whole piece stays neat. I’ll keep the layers labeled so anyone can trace where the recursion stops, and I’ll add a little safety thread that jumps back to the start if the pattern gets stuck. It’s like a safety net in a dance, just in thread.
