Hyperbolic Crochet - From Beginning to End.

I made this Hyperbolic Crochet video, to give people an idea how the crenellated forms of Hyperbolic crochet emerge, when you increase at a constant rate. The inspiration came from The Institue for Figuring's website, www.theiff.org/ - well worth a look for more beautiful examples of others work, and the awareness they are bringing to the future of coral reefs from around the world. Thanks.

Very cool... will you share the pattern? Thank you

[SHOPETSY]

You would need to increase one in every three stitches. It takes a little while to see the effect, but be patient as it will start to curl and go wavy, good luck!

hi can you do a tutorial video of how to do this or email me the original full version thanks

[InweTaralom]

any specific brand of yarn, or will any old acrylic four ply do for this?

BEAUTIFUL!!! Do you start making this project with a "Magic Loop"? If so, how many single crochet's do you put into the center of the "Magic Loop, initially? Then, I saw where you said to increase one in every three stitches. It's really a beautiful design with many possible uses. Thanks so much!

This looks like the perfect pattern to make a durable & washable ball for my lil dog ALLi! If I use wool I can even felt it which I imagine will do 2 things - increase durability (especially impt. if used w/ a puppy or a chewer!) & increase ability to maintain shape. If anyone's interested let me know & I'll keep you updated on the results of this experiment. Thanks for the information & inspiration - Blessings ~ Laurie P.S. I'd love to hear from anyone who has felted one of these already.

As a puppy my dog's favorite toy was a pom-pom style felt ball she'd use to play soccer and fetch w/ by herself in my livingroom! She'd run w/ it in her mouth, let it go w/ a little toss, then run rings around it while she'd chase, toss, & catch it. It was an absolute hoot to watch! While the design was good (long wedge pcs of felt cut, rolled & tied to give that pom-pom shape) it was not very durable & needed many repairs. And now it seems they're no longer being made. Drats!.....until today!!

This is totally awesome! I'm going to try to make one myself now! Thanks for sharing and the hints :) Happy Crocheting!
