The idea of a zombie apocalypse has crossed most of our minds and with that, it never hurts to have an action plan. You might not realise it but if you can knit or crochet, you already have a post-apocalyptic life skill! See our pick of patterns to help you last until the end.
Pack your bag
Absolutely essential - how else would you carry your craft supplies? This crocheted bag uses super bulky yarn, so will be more hard-wearing too. Get the pattern here.
Make it snappy
You NEED to stay warm. This can be made from toddler to adult sizes! You can get the pattern here.
Go camo
Bernat are well prepped with a range of camo gear – and for FREE! Don't miss the patterns for a neck scarf, trousers, pullover and backpack.
Woolly revolver
Okay, maybe you'll have to sharpen your crochet hook or knitting needles instead. You can get this pattern here.
Feeling ropey
We're not sure why ropes are so useful, but it's always good to have one! Get the FREE pattern here.
First aid
Both knitted and crocheted bandages to protect your grazes, but not bites, remember - no hiding allowed! Get the FREE pattern here.
Very intents
Artist Lea Donnan made these tents out of salvaged crocheted blankets. You'd have to be a really mean zombie to wreck them.
Belt up
Not quite a pattern, but a great tutorial for making a paracord belt – great for rescue missions! See it here.
Handmade hammock
Zombies can't climb trees – can they? No, surely not. You can find this easy pattern here.

You're going to need company... just think of Wilson - Tom Hanks' pal in Castaway. Walter will do the job nicely. Get the free pattern here.
