Innocent Smoothies Hats

Fundraising for Age UK York | Innocent Smoothies Hats

Are you a knitter?

You might have seen little woolly hats on top of Innocent Smoothie drink bottles. Since 2003, the Innocent Smoothie company has donated 30p to Age UK for each little hat that sits on one of its drink bottles. There's a tag, too, explaining how each 30p helps Age UKs all over the country pay for important services for older people. 

Woolly hats that you donate to one of our Age UK York shops will help us to support York's older residents. 

What do you need?

A pair of size 4mm knitting needles, double knitting wool, a darning needle. 

What do you do?

• Cast on 26 stitches. 
• Knit 14 rows. 
• Knit 2 stitches together right across the next row (13 stitches).
• On the next row knit 2 stitches together right across until the last stitch.
• Knit 1 stitch.
• Snip off the wool about 20 cm from the stitches. Thread the snipped end onto the darning needle.
• Draw this wool through the stitches on the knitting needle. 
• Fasten all the stitches together. 
• Sew the two sides of the hat together and decorate the hat however you want.
