A while back I wrote a post on hammock patterns for those interested in making their own hammock. That has got to be the number one most-read post on this blog. I really admire all you crafty do-it-yourselfers! Here’s another link to a vintage article, again courtesy of the venerable Mother Earth News circa 1982, on tying your own hammock using common knots. It’s illustrated and shows you how to weave or net the hammock using a shuttle. There’s lots of detail on materials, and the hammock can be sized for one or two persons. Again, I warn that I haven’t tried the pattern myself and cannot make any warranty or guarantee of suitability. But if you’re looking for instructions on how to make a hammock yourself, you may want to check this one out.

A hammock made from fabric is a good choice if you have small children. There’s less chance for a little one’s hands or feet to become caught in the hammock. Hammock fabric must be strong enough to support the weight of the person(s) who will lie in it. And if using the hammock outside, hammock fabric should be weather resistant. Hammocks made from fabric allow less air circulation through the hammock bed than the mesh types, so they’ll feel slightly warmer and are great for use in cooler climates. Let’s look at the variety of available hammock fabrics. Read the rest of this entry »
