This is the first pattern I have ever written; I wrote it because I wanted to make a newborn hammock for a photography prop but couldn't find a free one. So please be patient, and feel free to email me at jessadobbs@att.net if you find any errors, any ways to better the pattern, or want to share pics of your finished work!
