SOUTHAMPTON residents can create their very own Joe Wicks after knitting instructions were released by civic chiefs.

Detailed instructions on how to knit a miniature version of Joe Wicks, The Body Coach, have been released by Southampton City Libraries, after one of the staff members created the tribute design.

A full list of the materials needed, and step by step instructions on how to create the knitted fitness coach is available on the Southampton City Libraries Facebook page.

In the post, a spokesperson said: "One of our very talented members of staff has created a knitted tribute to Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach.

"The pattern and instructions are included so you can have your own attempt at making your very own miniature Joe, or pass the pattern to a knitter you know, because we've all been inspired by #PEwithJoe."
