Here is the link to directions I made up for a rectangular hammock top or underquilt. If you are not making an enclosed footbox and sealing it with a drawstring, add a good 8 or 10 inches to the total length more than you are tall. I did not and closed up it only goes to my neck.

In terms of patterns mine is just a giant rectangle. You could combine that with the pattern for the hungry howie.
