This pattern is knitted in the round. They look great climbing up walls and trees!
Chainmail
kayray.org/2007/10/16/knitted-chainmail-hauberk-for-a-young-knight/
This gives instructions of how to knit a shirt of chain mail – it may also be nice to knit simple
squares of chain mail to add to the yarn bomb around trees or furniture! This could be done using
a lovely thick grey or silver yarn and knitting on needles 4mm thinner than the yarn size in garter
stitch.
