I have seen some Mexicans slings, perhaps made of Agave or sisal fibers, but I have no idea how they knit the pouch.

...

You can see here other slings that seems to follow the same pattern.

I think the parts where the pouch joins the arms look like they're made of ring hitches to me.
I bet the rest of the pouch is knotted as well but I can't see the detail very clearly on my phone.

Btw, there is a different sling from mexico in the tutorial section of this forum.
