The Big Knit is back!

Great news! The Big Knit is back.....and the donation per hat has been increased from 25p to 30p!

The Big Knit is our partnership with innocent drinks.  We've been working together for a number of years, asking local crafters to knit or crochet little hats for the tops of innocent smoothie bottles.  Our target this year is 15,000 and every hat knitted raises 30p to help Age UK Somerset provide much needed services and support to older people.  So, if you have a passion for knitting, or want to start stitching, we could use your help and you could help raise money for Age UK Somerset.

If you need some inspiration, check out some of the knitting patterns below.  There is a range of patterns for beginners and for more experienced knitters.

No Need to Post them - Pop them in to one of our Drop Off Points! 

The deadline for us to receive all your little knitted hats is 31st May 2025.

You can send your hats to our office: Age UK Somerset, Ash House, Cook Way, Bindon Road, Taunton, TA2 6BJ. 

Or you can save yourself the postage costs and drop them at your nearest Big Knit, Little Hat Drop Off Point!  They are all shown in the map below, along with their opening hours. 

Many thanks to all these kind shops and venues for agreeing to be Drop Off points!
