This pattern is for a unique extra large stuffed animal hammock hung from 5 points in a corner. The pattern produces a “net” like quality with diamond-shaped openings.

Using the standard medium weight yarn and a 5mm/H hook the finished size (laid flat unstretched) is approximately 42in wide x 32in deep. Any size hook and yarn can be used; your choice affects the finished size.

The pattern is beginner-friendly, written in plain English, and accompanied by photos, tips, and descriptions. No specialty stitches are used. Picture hanging hardware or command hooks will be needed to hang the finished hammock.

!NEW! There are now two files you can download when you purchase this pattern on Etsy. The original file remains, but there is now an improved version with many updates: fewer ends to weave in, loops in the middle of the net for easier hanging, more information about stitch counts and yarn yardage needed, more photos in both right- and left-handed orientations, and stitch counts to make medium and small nets as well as the classic extra-large one. Feel free to use whichever file you prefer, but if you feel like you want more information the “NEW” file may be for you!
