Please keep in mind that this will be a large display. Work of all sizes will be needed including large versions of whatever you want to create. I suggest using these patterns as inspiration. Don't be afraid to explore your creativity. Once you understand how hyperbolic crochet works, experiment and practice some free form crochet. But most of all, HAVE FUN!
I can't wait to see your creations!
