This 13-sided, hat-shaped polygon is the first known example of an “einstein,” a single shape that can be tiled to cover a plane with a pattern that never repeats. The word means one stone in German.
This origami version is folded from a single square piece of paper. You can start to play with the tiling puzzle once you have completed several identical pieces. See issue 76, The Fold, OrigamiUSA for the detail.
