I got it in my head today that I wanted to make a channel end hammock. I've done the Knotty version gathered end variety, and in fact I like it very much, I just want to see if there is any significant difference in the other style.

On to the question: is there any special reinforcement that need to happen to the ends beyond what looks like just three rows of stitching? Is it very similar to the Knotty hammock just with extra stitches and not whipped?

I looked pretty hard thru HF and couldn't really find this style of hammock being diy'd, at least not with the search criteria I was using. Any advice/ thread coordinates etc. would be greatly appreciated.
