Hammock

There are few things more relaxing than lying in a

hammock. But no need to rush out to the shops: all
you need is an old sheet and two pieces of rope to

make one yourself. And it turns out the best knot for
the job is also one of the simplest.

1 Tie a knot in each end of the sheet – either an overhand knot in the

whole end or, for a large sheet, a reef knot to tie the corners together.
