Crochet Yarn Hammock Pattern For Afternoon Delights

Imagine making a cozy little nest for yourself or for your furry friend, just with some yarn and a crochet hook. That's what you get with a crochet yarn hammock! It's a fun project where you loop and pull yarn through to make a comfy spot that hangs with grace.

How To Crochet Yarn Hammock

Materials:

8 mm crochet hook
4 weight worsted weight yarn in a color of your choice (the one in the video is pink with sparkles)

Pattern Overview:

The hammock is created using treble crochet stitches and begins with a magic circle. It's worked in rows that increase at each end and in the middle to create a triangular shape. A border is added at the end for a neat finish.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Starting the Hammock:

Begin with a magic circle.
Chain 1.
Make a treble crochet into your magic circle, followed by two more treble crochets (3 treble crochets total).

First Row Expansion:

Chain 3, then put three more treble crochets into your magic circle.
Pull your tail to tighten the circle.
Chain 1 and turn your work.

Next Rows:

In the first treble crochet stitch, put three treble crochets.
Do not chain. Move directly to the space created by the chain three from the previous round and make three treble crochets, chain three, and three more treble crochets into that top space.
Proceed to the last stitch of the row and add three treble crochets.
Chain 1 and turn your work.

Repeat Rounds:

Continue with the same pattern, starting each row by placing three treble crochets in the first stitch.
For spaces between clusters, add three treble crochets.
For the chain three space at the peak, repeat three treble crochets, chain three, and three treble crochets.
End each row with three treble crochets in the last stitch, chain one, and turn.
The pattern repeats until the hammock reaches your desired size.

Finishing Touches:

After completing 14 rows (or your chosen length), switch to a 6 mm crochet hook.
Work a single crochet border around the entire hammock.
Put three single crochets in the first and last stitches and in the peak’s chain space.
Put one single crochet in each treble crochet and one in the spaces between clusters.

Final Notes:

Secure and weave in all ends.
Optionally, add a loop or a fringe at each corner for hanging.
The creator of the video also mentions you can order a ready-made hammock via their Etsy if you're not inclined to make it yourself.
