Wales’s knitters asked to join The Big Knit 2015

We are calling on nimble-fingered knitters across Wales to get creative and knit little hats for us and innocent's Big Knit and help older people keep warm and well in winter.

The annual ‘knit-athon' will see knitters making little woollen bobble hats that will appear on innocent smoothie bottles in stores nationwide in February 2016. 

We will receive a 25p donation for every hat knitted by the Welsh public. This will go towards helping older people keep warm and well in winter. 

Richard Nicholls, our Director of Income Generations says:

"The Big Knit is back for its twelfth year and we hope knitters across Wales join in and help us create as many hats as possible. 

"The colder months of the year can be really tough for many older people who can face difficulties protecting themselves from the harsh winter weather. 

"That's why it's so important that local knitters get behind The Big Knit to help raise funds for vital local winter services.

"It's easy to get involved in The Big Knit - we've got knitting patterns anyone can use - from beginner, to intermediate to advanced knitters. 

"We've even got a watermelon pattern, a pineapple pattern and a grapes pattern for our budding knitters - the sky is the limit!"

Richard concludes:

"We've been really impressed by the creativity of people across Wales, so please pick up those knitting needles again this year and help us make The Big Knit 2015  the best one ever."
