Hammocks are a source of great relaxation, as you float and swing from side to side either reading a book or enjoying some time alone. Hammocks can be placed anywhere you choose, from the porch to the garden and balcony in order to have a relaxing view, fresh breeze and quiet.

The Art Of Crochet

Crocheting is known as the practice of creating different types of fabrics from thread with the help of a special crochet hook. The thread is traditionally made of cotton but can be of any other material such as, wire, yarn, silk and nylon depending on what you are trying to achieve. Crocheting was usually used to produce different types of lacey accessories for the house of wardrobe such as, enhancing a dress, curtains, bed shams and hammocks to name a few.

Even though every design and pattern in crocheting is done with one crochet hook, there are several patterns to choose from; depending on the purpose of the item you are about to produce.

Choosing A Crochet Hammock Pattern

When you are looking for a crochet hammock pattern, you must keep in mind the weight that will be placed in the hammock and the amount of weight the pattern is going to allow. The crochet hammock pattern you choose must be enforced and done with a strong thread, such as nylon, which has elasticity with a mixture of cotton for comfort.

There are many crochet hammock patterns to choose from and if you are looking to make one yourself you should consult a crochet book or online sites where they will walk you step by step through the procedure keeping in mind all your needs.

You can also find a ready made crochet hammock both online and in local physical stores where you can actually try the hammock to see how it fits and test the comfort levels. Crocket hammock patterns are usually chosen by the weather in the location you live, the place where you will hang it, who will be using the hammock and how often.

Usually, most hammocks are made for rough use because you will not be able to help yourself from using it once you have it in the house; however, some hammocks are made with material for indoor use and other for both indoors and outdoors.

Make Your Little Place Of Relaxation

Swinging, sleeping or just spending time in your hammock will bring you great pleasure and relaxation whether you do it in the evening over a cup of coffee or in the afternoon with a book and your pet curled next to you; you will find that your hammock will not only be a place of maximum comfort but also your little refuge to absolute bliss.
