I've made another hyperbolic form...I think I'm addicted! I bought a nice 4ply gold mercerised cotton, and using a 2mm needle, I increased 1 in every 2 stitches. Here it is in the making!!
Looks great! A lot of patience. The mathematician Diana Taimina of Cornell University in '97 was trying to make a more sturdy model than another professor's more delicate -paper- models to visualize hyperbolic forms. She remembered crocheting as a kid. I believe she started with an increase every ?4 stitches, then 3, then 2 as you are doing; the second most complex one! She also did increase after every stitch! Extreme curvy-ness. The ones with more spaced out increases have gentler curves. Look up the Hyperbolic Crochet Reef Project that had crocheters around the world using these forms to bring awareness to endangered coral reefs by making crocheted "reefs". I saw an exhibit in person. Very cool. TY for memory.

this is a interesting form to prepare this, I mean I saw it the normal shape but this is so ingenious, perfect to spend some time with your family.
This is really gorgeous, did you have a pattern for this please?
