Or if it’s easy how many meters of cord your using for your hammock and how big it will be?!

I’m glad you did the research, I was starting to think I wouldn’t be able to find out! Why are you choosing to use 6mm macrame braided cord and not the nylon braided cord she used? Is it because your hammock will be outside? Is 6mm what she used in hers? Also do you know what stitch she used?!

Thanks in advance!

It irks me when people use the terms “crochet” and “knitting” interchangeably. Good call.

I’m still bewildered as to the stitch she used — any ideas? Im guessing a dc, ch, dc, ch… Im using 6mm macrame braided cord – Perfect for a hammock, Grace — though not as soft as the nylon braided cord she used here — and had to dye herself!! (I have done a lot of research on this project!!)

Sure looks crocheted to me and their is a picture on a page about the artist. It sure looks like a crochet hook in her hand. http://www.archdaily.com/297941/meet-the-artist-behind-those-amazing-hand-knitted-playgrounds/50afd3e0b3fc4b0cad0000ca_meet-the-artist-behind-those-amazing-hand-knitted-playgrounds-_dscn1304-jpg/

I don’t know how it was crocheted????? Has to be so tough & sturdy for children to play on it…. Thanks for more photos. Sarah Helene, Minneapolis, MN

I just need to figure out what kind of yarn(s) to use. Any ideas?
