The Big Knit
Ready, steady, knit!
We’re thrilled to announce that Age UK's partnership with innocent, The Big Knit, is back! It's time to grab your knitting needles and crochet hooks and get involved - every hat knitted raises 30p to help us provide much-needed services and support to older people.
There are exciting hat designs, including a cheeky monkey, fox cub, sheepish sheep and a unicorn, available to download now, but feel free to come up with designs of your own!
Let’s get those needles clicking and create a real yarn to remember! Crafters have until 1st July 2025 to send in their hats, so there's plenty of time to get involved.
Since 2003, the innocent Big Knit has raised an incredible £3.2 million for Age UK and its local brand partners.
The little hats will appear on top of innocent smoothie bottles, available in shops starting October 2025.
