Straps

To make your straps you will need to chain 150 stitches. Chain 1 more and single crochet in each stitch across. Tie off.

You will need to make 2 straps of each color that you used for the main part of your hammock leaving you with six long straps.

Assembly

Grab your first strap and fold it in half to find the center. Also fold your hammock in half to find the center of your first double crochet row. Weave the strap under the middle two double crochet stitches; you may need to use a crochet hook to pull the strap through.

Continue to weave the strap over and under two double crochet stitches at a time. Repeat this in the same stitches with one of each of the other colors of straps.

Repeat this process on the other end of your cat hammock.

Cinch your ends together by pulling the hammock material to the center of your straps.
