If stuffed animals are taking over your child’s room, this crochet toy storage net hammock is a simple and practical solution.
This free crochet pattern creates a lightweight corner hammock that keeps toys off the floor while still making them easy for kids to grab and put away.
This toy storage hammock works up quickly, uses basic crochet stitches, and can be easily adjusted to fit your space.
It’s perfect for stuffed animals, plush toys, or lightweight blankets and makes a great functional crochet project for nurseries, playrooms, or kids’ bedrooms.
My finished hammock measures approx. 45″ from end to end on the longest side. 31″ inches on the other 2 sides and 22″ from the middle of the longest side to the front point.
You can easily change the size to whatever measurement you need.

Materials
Lily Sugar ‘n Cream 100% cotton yarn (I used a large cone: 400g / 14 oz, 616 m / 674 yd). I did not use the entire cone but used a good amount.
Blunt needle
Abbreviations
ch – chain
st(s) – stitch(es)
dc – double crochet
sp – space
sl st – slip stitch
Pattern
Row 1: Ch 4, sl st in first ch to form a circle. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, dc in circle, ch 1, dc in same circle. Turn.
Row 3: Ch 3, dc in first ch-1 sp, ch 1, dc in same sp, ch 1, repeat in next sp. Turn.
Row 4: Ch 3, dc in first ch-1 sp, ch 1, dc in same sp, ch 1, dc in second sp, ch 1, dc in next sp, ch 1, dc in last sp, ch 1, dc in same sp. Turn.
Repeat Pattern (Triangle Expansion)
For each row after Row 4:
First space: dc, ch 1, dc
Middle spaces: dc, ch 1 in each space
Last space: dc, ch 1, dc
Turn at the end of each row
Tips for growth:
The increases at the first and last space of each row make the triangle grow evenly.
Continue repeating these steps until your triangle reaches the desired length.
Finished measurements (mine):
Longest side: ~45″
Other two sides: ~31″ each
Distance from middle of longest side to front point: ~22″
Finishing
Sl st in last stitch and fasten off.
Weave in ends.
Attach the hammock to your wall using 3 hooks in any corner. Hang the ends over the hooks.

The pattern has 2ch between last pair of DC, but 1 ch at the beginning, is this how I should continue, or should it be 1 ch beginning and end ?
Thanks
The dc, ch 1 in between seems to be making it ruffle. Is that how it is suppose to look early on in the first few rows?
I’m having same ruffles. I’ve had projects do that before correcting itself but I’m not sure if that’s the case here??
I had the same issue but the (dc, ch 1, dc) x2 should only be made in the first and last stitches of the row. The in between should only get (dc, ch 1, dc) x1
Thank you! This made it all make sense 🙂
Can this be made with regular yarn ( like red heart acrylic )?
Yes, however it may stretch and wear a bit more than using cotton. Cotton is more durable.
Are we chaining 3 at the beginning of every row past row 4? It does not say to but mine is turning out a bit funky without the chain
Yes you do continue to ch 3 on every row. There is a youtube video at the end of the post where I show how to increase the hammock if you need 🙂
