For more information on materials, see pattern. Ravelry doesn’t allow for the giant scale!

Pattern includes:

~instructions to make needles
~description of supplies necessary
~written pattern with photos
~joining methods with photos &
~finishing help

I’d recommend that you be an experienced knitter for this as it is very difficult to “read” your knitting on such a giant scale. A dropped stitch is a little bit of a disaster! But if you’re confident in your skills, go for it !
