The Big Knit
I've been knitting...
Not for myself, but for the Big Knit , a charity appeal whereby knitters make small hats to fit the tops of innocent smoothie bottles. Every hat knitted raises 25p for Age UK, .
I bought 20 20g balls of cotton from my local wool shop (the wonderful Knotty Knits and Kreative Krafts) and looked up a load of patterns on the net.
Ummm...they're a bit addictive.
It takes about half an hour to make and sew up a basic hat. A bit longer if you're doing more of a novelty one, especially if you have to make legs or sew on eyes or make tails. Most of the patterns have come from the internet, having simply searched 'big knit patterns'.
I've knitted loads...
It's all in a good cause.
