Trim

With the help of a knitting hook, one knitting on the cast edge, make a loop of chain 4 in the corner, then a single knitting on the edge of the triangle, make a loop of chain 4 on the top, one knitting on the edge of the third triangle and make a chain of 4 loops in the bottom corner. Connect it with a slip stitch and fix it.

If you are not knitting with the hook, just use the corner holes in the mesh to hang the hammock, or even extend the bands through the holes and use them to hang.

Weave at all ends – you don’t need a lock as it will stretch by itself.

Attach it to the wall with picture hooks or sticky wall hooks, even your thumb will work.
