Crocheted Hyperbolic Pseudosphere – It Weighs Five Ounces, So Much Yarn … Make One!

Posted by Danielle | Apr 17, 2011 | Beyond Knitting, Crochet Patterns |

This amazing crocheted hyperbolic pseudosphere is based on work by Daina Taimiņa, a Latvian mathematician known for crocheting objects to illustrate hyperbolic space, and Margaret Wertheim, known for the Crochet Coral Reef project. You can download a free PDF of several crochet hyperbolic basics here, courtesy of The Institute For Figuring.

This crocheted hyperbolic pseudosphere was made and shared by Cheryl, thanks Cheryl!
