Impossible Trident (poiuyt)
I include instructions for an easier foundation row than the usual chain-and-count. The sc. round at the end will stabilize the edges and lay a foundation for a decorative edge.
The impossible trident, Poiuyt, Blivek, or Devil’s tuning fork is a two-dimensional rendering of an impossible 3D figure.
This chart works up fast, and should be easy for beginners and advanced crocheters alike.
For this sample, I used 1 roll of Lydia’s crochet cotton and a 2.25mm hook, but any combo of hook and yarn will serve. Project in the image measures approx 1’ x 2’ 4” (30cm x 65)
