About the look
Hyperbolic skirt
yarn and shaped line
2021
This skirt was modeled on a size 3 sheath. I flared the bottom. To emphasize the hyperbolic flare the color transitioned from egg shell white to ever darker shades of blue.
Hyperbolic lei
yarn and shaped line
2023
This is an annulus with a hyperbolic flare at the outer rim.
Hyperbolic stole
Yarn and shaped line
2023
The basic shape is an isosceles triangle. However it is crocheted hyperbolically so that it can be wound around a hyperbolic annulus., a cone curved inwards to the tip. Thus it becomes a covering space of such an annulus.
