The Knitting Needles - Bone are a pair of knitting needles carved from bone. They do the same work as the store-bought metal pair. Every knitting recipe in the Tailoring skill accepts them.
They suit a survivor who has hunted but has never found a metal pair. Their strength is that a sharp bone and a knife are all it takes to make them. Like any knitting needles, they are kept after each recipe.
They are usually carved at Carving level 3. University anthropology classrooms also keep a pair on display. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The needles turn Yarn into clothing. Knit Beanie, Knit Scarf and Knit Doily need Tailoring at level 1. Knit Socks, Knit Legwarmers and Knit Wool Hat need level 2. Knit Sweater Vest and Knit Open-Face Balaclava need level 3. Knit Full Balaclava needs level 4.
Carve Knitting Needles makes them from a Long Sharp Bone. It needs Carving at level 3 and a sharp knife or a meat cleaver, which is kept. The same recipe with a Tree Branch, a Wooden Rod or a spare handle gives the wooden pair instead.
The bone, wood and metal pairs all weigh the same. Each one fits every knitting recipe.
