This is a one-shouldered back carry which is very supportive and secure. It is based on the Double Hammock. One of the nice things about Double Hammock Rebozo is that you can easily switch between shoulders and even to a Double Hammock Torso Carry if your shoulders are feeling picky. You can also easily move both tails onto your shoulders and finish with any of the Double Hammock Ring variations or with the Shepherd’s variation.
