Every year, we ask you to knit tiny woollen hats, and each one gets placed on an innocent smoothie bottle. For every smoothie sold, we receive 25p, and that money helps us to be there for older people who have no one else to turn to.

How to join in

1. Choose a pattern
   Design your own hat or have a look at our patterns and choose your favourite to download.
2. Knit away
   Knit in front of the telly, or gather a group of friends and chat over the click-clack of needles. Some local Age UKs even hold their own knitting groups.
3. Send us your hats
   Pop your hats in the post by Monday 29 July 2019. Address them to:
   
   Age UK
   The Big Knit
   Fruit Towers
   342 Ladbroke Grove
   London W10 5BU
   
   Or find an Age UK near you and drop your hats off there – see which local Age UKs can take your hats.
4. Tell us your story
   innocent and Age UK would love to send you a thank you card in the post and tell you about the next Big Knit. If you'd like that too, include a note with your hats telling us your name and address. Let us know your knitting stories and why you're taking part in the Big Knit!
