Tips for the Pocket Hammock
The hammock is a small net-like rectangle worked with chain spaces, gathered at both ends so it cradles the bear. The sleeping bear tucks in with its paws over the edge and eyes closed. Keep the hammock sturdy by working the edge rows in single crochet, and attach the keychain ring where the hammock gathers for balanced hanging.
