Most of these hammocks are not crocheted. All the South American ones are made by an interlinking technique that we Scandinavians call ‘sprang’. That is what makes them elastic enough to be used width-wise rather than lengthwise.
Actually, crochet is not an ideal technique for hammocks. Too rigid, and too many ‘knot points’, since knots weaken the structure of the thread used.
But the crochet detailing on some of these is awesome :)
Hm, that’s an interesting thing to learn. It’s definitely true that a few of these are made from combined needlework / fabric techniques with crochet only as the edging or detailing.
I’d disagree, however, with the point that crochet can’t be used to make hammocks. There are many different yarn weights, stitch patterns and optiosn for texture that make it totally possible to use crochet to make strong, durable and comfortable hammocks.
Most of these hammocks are not crochet they are woven in a special way. Yes some of them have crochet edges but I do not clasify them as crochet hammocks
There are a large number of crochet hook sizes and almost any material can be crocheted from yarn to plastic bags. A bit of crativety and material is all that in needed to make your own hammock via crochet.
