Hyperbolic Ball

This is the crochet project that I was working on today. It is a hyperbolic ball. The term hyperbolic is a math term, I think, and relates in this case to the method with which the number of stitches increase on each row. Anyway, it makes this nice crocheted ball that I guess could be used as a shower poof. I thought it would be nice for using on dishes, but I think I made it a bit too big for that.

interesting! I've never seen a project like that. I bet that would make a nice shower pouf!

I originally saw a photo of one of these on ravelry, but had a few questions about how to make one. So, I set to googling them and figured it out. It's super simple.
