Whether you're a knitting ninja, purling pro, crochet connoisseur or just keen to have a go, it’s time to get wild about wool and join the Big Knit!

Once again, Age UKs across the country have joined forces with innocent smoothies to raise money. For every hat we receive, innocent give us 30p, and with a target of 3,000 in Bath & North East Somerset, that adds up to an impressive £900!

We need you!

We're calling on all our crafty supporters to help us this winter by knitting these fabulous little hats, you can be as creative as you like, or you can follow these patterns.
