Big Knit
The Big Knit is back for 2024 - calling all knitters and crocheters we need people to knit or crochet little hats for Innocent Drinks smoothie bottles. For each hat made we get 30p raising much needed funds for our local services and activities. We are just as happy if you knit one hat or can make several - they all help us to raise money and make our target this year of 3,000 hats.
For more details on where to send your hats and patterns please see the link below
