A Woven Klein Quartic

We describe a new method of weaving a model of the Klein quartic, a highly symmetric, but abstract genus-3 surface akin to a platonic polyhedron, with negatively-curved geometry. The Klein quartic cannot be realized in its fully symmetric form in three-dimensional space, but this model exhibits the most rigid symmetry that is possible. With remarkably little time and material you can have a Klein quartic of your own!
