Crocheting a hyperbolic plane
Lots of people have pointed me in the direction of a book called ‘Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes’. Actually I still haven’t bought the book but this week I decided to make one, and here’s how I got on.
I was surprised at how easy it was, really. I’ve known how to crochet, oh about a month, and I only used one stitch. I decided to make it in the round, because firstly I hate sewing up and secondly I knew if I was crocheting rows it would get more and more depressing as the rows became ever longer. Whereas in the round you just keep going!
