Innocent drinks

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.

Get Involved!

The deadline for us to receive all your little knitted hats is 31st May 2025. You can send your hats to our office: Ash House, Cook Way, Bindon Road, Taunton, TA2 6BJ.  You can also drop them in yourself and say hi! Or take them into the Age UK shop in Taunton.

Keep an eye on our social media and check back here in a few months time for details of further drop off points as they are confirmed.

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.
