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.
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:
Age UK North Yorkshire & Darlington
Bradbury House
Beaumont St. West

Our knitting groups
We would love you to join us at our knitting group where we knit and share tips over a cuppa. Find out more details about our knitting groups here.(Northallerton) and here (Darlington)
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!
