I thought I would share one of the knitting patterns that I have made up recently. It uses a drop-stitch technique that you can learn on YouTube. Just search it and a few good tutorials will come up. This scarf is more like wearing an animal than a garment and it is one of the coziest things ever. If you can’t find knitting needles this size then broom sticks will also suffice, although they can be hard on the wrists and a bit more awkward.

Also, it can be really difficult to find spun sliver/roving so if you just have un-spun fibre then just add your own twist to it by hand as you knit it. You can find sliver and roving from fibre craft shops or on-line from websites that supply spinning fibre. I also wouldn’t be too concerned if you don’t have a long continuous piece, as lots of ends poking out can actually make this scarf more interesting. I also apologise that I don’t know the meter-age for this scarf as it was never listed on the wool spun sliver that I bought from The Wool Company . I just know that I used about 800-900gms.

Please feel free to comment and ask questions, as this is the first pattern I have ever shared so it may be confusing or could be missing some crucial info.
