The pattern is from "Kooky Crochet" but I think there are instructions for hyperbolic crochet out there on the Internet. The only advice I can give anyone wanting to make one is to get really, really friendly with single crochet, because you're going to do a truckload of it.
This is more true to the actual color, and here you can see the actual size. I could have kept going but I got really sick of single crochet and so I just finished it off.
And because I can't resist bad puns, or the opportunity to turn something into a version of a Cat Macro when it comes along, here are a couple of additional thoughts about the hyperbolic ball:
(And yes, I know, "exponential" should imply a power relationship, but in ecology we even consider the sort of doubling that bacteria do as exponential growth). The larger it gets the faster it grows, and that even works with simple doubling.
And that "comment" may not literally be true, but it sure felt at it as I approached the end of the ball.
