There is no evidence of knitting in the Roman Empire, which if it was there is weird when you consider how much art they made that shows other parts of their daily lives and how many deities they had for every aspect of life.

The solid ones would also be completely useless for knitting gloves. And why are these typically found in hoards of money if they’re a part of domestic life? It just doesn’t fit the available evidence. I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but it doesn’t work to explain all of them.

Apperently the holes are important for the knitting, but there are some dodecahedrons without holes.

These were clearly used for fossil crafting.

Nah the knitting / weaving idea doesn't add up.

Basically, they can be used to weave a tube, but that isn't really evidence that they were created with that intention.

The bronze would be polished up around the knobs if it were used that way.

You wouldn't use bronze to make a weaving tool just because it's so expensive. Maybe as a once off or special item, but not generally.

You don't vary the size of your knitting or weaving by using a bigger template / more loose weave. One larger finger you would use more stitches: that's fundamental to knitting and weaving.

At first glance it's a nice idea but it doesn't withstand critical thought.

100 internet points, but I can't give them. Gloves.
