Assembly:
| Cut off of each corner so there is 2" across the corner. |  |
| Turn under each corner 1/4", turn under another 1/4" to enclose the raw edge . Press and stitch the corners in place. Repeat for all three corners. |  |
| Turn under and press 1/2" on each side. Turn under another 1/2" to enclose the raw edges. Press. Insert the drapery or craft cord in the fold, leaving a few inches out at the corner. Sew down the inside folded edge keeping the cord away from the stitching. |  |
| Stitch each side stopping and leaving a 2 inches loop of cord at each corner. |  |
| When all the sides are sewn, knot the ends of the cord. Knot again. Trim excess cord. Work the knot into the side seam by pulling from another corner. Evenly distribute the cord to have an even amount of cord at each corner. |  |
| Knot the cord just past the ends of the fabric. |  |
| Stitch through the fabric at the corners, sewing over the corner to lock it into place. |  |
Place one hook at the corner of the wall and a hook out from the corner, the length of the sides of the hammock.
