The Big Knit

Every year, an army of woolly warriors take up their knitting needles and crochet hooks as part of the innocent Big Knit in partnership with Age UK.The Big Knit is Age UK's partnership with innocent drinks. We've been working together since 2003, asking the country's crafters to knit little hats for the tops of innocent smoothie bottles. Every hat knitted raises 30p to help Age UK provide much-needed services and support to older people. 

The last campaign ran from October 2024 to July 2025 (it is currently taking a pause).

Thanks to all the wonderful knitters who sent in nearly 3000 hats and who helped us to receive nearly £900 to help fund our work at Age UK RBH. If you enjoyed knitting and wish to continue, please make use of the patterns below , but keep hold of any hats until we have updated information. Later in the autumn we will launch our next campaign. As soon as we have a date we can start collecting hats again, and we will let you know how to get the hats to us. Happy Knitting!
