I've seen a few... The sheer number of threads that you need is a little daunting though!

...

All the examples I've seen use the same 6 row netting for the pocket, so that seems to add historical validation to the choice! 8 is really too many unless you have crazy thin strands.

I was also considering using a "raschel knit" which is the construction used for modern knotless net. I really like the twelve strand pocket design though. I'm still looking for a good way to handle the taper needed to reduce the number of strands in the cords.

Braided net... It's not actually as hard as it looks... I started tying a sample using 1/4" twine (easier to work things out at large scale) and it would be pretty slick! I changed the join pattern for a smoother/stronger weave. The knots in knotted web do serve a purpose though. Much more resistant to damage than knotless mesh. The global fishing industry gave up on knotless after a short experimental period.

Here are my final two prototypes. The article will be forthcoming...

The first is tapered from three strands of 3 strand twisted twine braided to 6 strands flat braid then into the same 3/6/3 arrangement as before. The grip and release are doubled up as well, and I figured out why all those peruvian slings have fancy release ends. They ran out of main threads during the braiding.... The tassel gives a nice snap for herding the local ___...

...

The second one is 1mm Dyneema, at 47"... going to sling me some long ones this weekend Grin I'd wear it around my waist like a belt (since it's my longest sling) but 1mm kevlar/spectra cuts too much...

Excellent knotwork!  I'm so envious. I'm particularly impressed that you used the proper netting knot.

edit - I screwed up and have tried to resend the photos to Chris... We'll get it fixed. Sorry for the confusion, was not expecting to be near a computer again for a few days and though I could sneak the post through before the pics were up. doh.

I tried out the idea of carrying the netting twine through the body of the sling and came up with the following prototype:

...


I like the elegance/simplicity of design in the pocket vs the method where the net is worked back and forth, though carrying 6 strands instead of 1 certainly adds bulk. I started out round braiding the 12 strands but gave up pretty quickly (proof of concept and all)

The sling is high ten. PE 6 strands flat braided in the middle for the finger loop, ending up with 12 strands braided for the cord (4 in 3). The pocket is as per the Balearic / "20 steps" slings - 3 strands braided each side. The remaining 6 strands are netted...

...


This one goes together really quickly. I think the next iteration I'll weave/splice the net strands in (keeping all 6 entering and exiting the pouch) to reduce the diameter of the main cords. Maybe Dyneema as well...

This is just fabulous, respect!

That is one strand of braided nylon twine made into a rectangle of netting.  When the ends of the netting are drawn together it forms a natural pouch.  Tony

It's an interesting design, and looks usable. I'll need to try it at some point.
