Surely if it was knitted it’d be a Lanolin?
Of course, the BBC doesn’t have the rights to ‘Lanolins’ (if anyone does it’s me and I forswear them here and now), so anyone who happened to have a knitting pattern to make a Lanolin would be quite free to post it if they so choose.

And did I mention my idea for a squid-faced alien race - like Cthulhu but without wings - called the Thloo. If anyone wants to run up a Thloo knitting pattern too I’m most happy for them to do so. They’re about human sized, bipedal, two arms, bald, and always carry a supply of a special trace element they can’t live without with them - connected to their ‘mouths’ by a long tube.
