Crochet Stuffed Animal Hammock

My munchkin likes to sleep with A LOT of stuffed animals....so I crocheted a hammock for her lil' friends.  I could only find online patterns for the corner hammock so I made one up that would rest on a flat wall.   

 It really helps to keep her room clean and gives her much more room to sleep.

  4. I have never written a pattern before and truly wouldn't know where to begin but I will try to help and reconstruct it using the method that I did.

    It is basically three pieces. A mesh rectangle and two triangles attached to the short ends of the rectangle. For the mesh rectangle I used a stitch I found in this pattern (step 4) I just crocheted a giant mesh rectangle .....

    I edged the rectangle all around with a few rows of double crochet in a contrasting color. This was just to make it look nice

    Then I looked up a pattern to make a triangle... http://www.innerchildcrochet.com/resources/how_to_design/triangles_rows.html

    I made the triangle with a double crochet. I attached the base of the triangle to the short ends of the mesh rectangle. To hang it, I attached two anchored hooks to the wall and tied the end of the triangle in a knot around the hook. I added a few crochet flowers to hide the hooks.

    I hope this helps. I really wasn't particular about counting. I just stopped when I thought it was big enough. It REALLY stretches out once you add the stuffed animals and I was surprised that they didn't tumble out. Happy crocheting.
