Materials:
Size N/9mm hook,
Plastic Shopping Bags,
Scissors,
Yarn Needle,
Bulky Weight Acrylic- Nylon Yarn:
I used Bernat Maker Outdoor in the color Sandy Beach

Terminology (US):
ss = slip stitch
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
dc2tog = double crochet 2 stitches together

Notes:

  • Finish nest will be about 10 inches long and 7 inches at the widest point.
  • 1 skein of Bernat Maker Outdoor will yield 2 complete nests with plenty extra yarn leftover for another small project.
  • Another acrylic-nylon blend yarn in bulky or medium weight will work, you may need to work with double strands if working with a medium weight yarn.
  • Bernat Maker Outdoor is a stretchy yarn, I pulled my tension pretty tight as I didn’t want the finished nest to stretch out over time.
  • The nest is worked in the round and will be flipped to the “wrong side” for a more textured look.
