The Big Knit 2019
Published on 03 December 2018 10:33 AM
The Big Knit 2019 event has now ended, thank you to everyone who took part! We will be publishing details on the Big Knit 2020 in due course.
What is the Big Knit?
The Big Knit is the campaign that Age UK runs in partnership with innocent drinks where we ask you to knit little woolly hats which then go on to their smoothies. For every smoothie sold, Age UK receives 25p.
This year, Age UK East Sussex has the target of 200 hats.
How to get involved
We’d love you to knit lots of lovely little hats for this year’s Big Knit and whether you’re a knitting novice or a purling pro, it couldn’t be easier.
Download the knitting patterns below, make yourself a nice cup of tea, find a comfy chair and knit away!
Hand in your hats
Once your little knitted creations are ready, drop them off or post them to:
Faraday House, 1 Faraday Close, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN22 9BH.
How does the Big Knit help?
The money we raise from the Big Knit helps us be there for older people who have no one else to turn to – so those little hats really do make a big difference!
