Amigurumi Hammock

[Pear-Kitten]

Well, it was going to look a little more like a hammock...and then I ran out of yarn! Instead of buying more (I splurged on expensive yarn and didn't want to buy another skein), I turned it into more of a bag/basket looking thing. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to make and really fast to work up. If anybody wants the pattern I can write it up really quick and post it. Now I shall shut up and give you the picture!

What a great idea for an amigurumi display! I've got them scattered all over my house.

[Tina M.]

Omg! That is great. I would love to make one of those. I really like the color of that too. Thanks for sharing. :crocheting

Good idea...and I love the little ami turtle you have in there!!!

[laurawithchild]

So cute! And if you make it bigger, it could probably be a toy hammock for all those stuffed toys that float around the house (of course we great house cleaners would never have toys not put away!!! :haha)

That's really cool! animal hammocs are a great thing. I love the color you used and they all look snug as a bug. Congrats on a good job! (especially sinc eyou had to alter your plan...)

[Pear-Kitten]

Thanks everybody!

I've never written a pattern before but here's what I did...

ch 83 dc in 4th sc (make it so you've got 80 sc going across)
dc ch1 skip next sc (do this all the way across)
I'm pretty sure I did 9 rows of that and then folded it in half. Sew the bottom and one side together and voila! You have an amigurumi hammock.

I used Red Heart Light & Lofty (I LOVE this yarn btw) and an N hook. Lots of fun and quick to work up.
