This pattern will make one that approximately measures 10 inches tall and 22 inches around the widest part. It can be adjust to make one any size by adding or subtracting rows. To crochet this I used Plarn I made form Kroger grocery bags cut into 1 inch strips. This used 19 bags. Materials Tan plastic bags 5 mm hook 3 to 4 inch Small plastic lid Wire for hanging The scraps from the bags + more bags for stuffing. Instructions 12 single crochets into a magic circle. Row 1. Single in each stitch Row 2. 2 singles in each stitch Row 3. 1 single in first stitch, 2 in next all the way around Row 4. 1 single in each stitch all the way around Row 5. 1 single in next 3 stitches, 2 in next stitch all the way around Row 6. Single in each stitch Row 7. 1 single in next 5 stitches, 2 in next stitch all the way around Row 8. 1 single in each stitch all the way around Row9. 1 single in next 7 stitches, 2 in next stitch all the way around Row 10 1 single in each stitch all the way around Row 11. 1 single in next 7 stitches, 2 in next stitch all the way around (If you want a narrower nest proceed as follows, if you want a fatter nest repeat Rows 10 and 11 1 or 2 more times, then proceed with pattern) No more rows from here on, crochet in the round for another 3 or 4 inches. 1 decrease stitch, 1 single in next 10 stitches, 1 decrease stitch until there is a 4inch opening, At this point I took a 3 to 4 inches small plastic lid poked 2 holes in it, poked a wire though the holes, put the wire through the hole in top to hang. Then start stuffing with plastic bags. Finish crocheting until the hole is about 2 inches, tie off, finish stuffing and hang with top as close to what you are hanging it form.
