Hello, I wish to make my hermit crabs a hammock in their tank, I was wondering if you guys could perhaps tell me what you make your hammocks out of so I know what to get. Thanks in advance!

I use either natural jute or hemp twine and crochet using this pattern: https://newstitchaday.com/how-to-croche ... sh-stitch/ :)

I've also used unbleached cotton rope, and followed https://youtu.be/sRJLAac86hg

Knitting, I alternate knit and purl. It curls up and holds moss pretty well.

If I don't want it to curl, I add knit stitches to every beginning and end of each row. I do this to make something to climb.
