Can it really be Big Knit time again? You betcha. Innocent are back with the nationwide knitting challenge that sees smoothie bottles get all cozy in tiny crocheted or knitted hats from crafty volunteers.
The aim this year is to raise over £250,000 to support Age Concern and Help the Aged, both of which run healthy eating and healthy living projects during the winter months.
According to Innocent's knitometer, the project has already received 'lots of hats' but you can still submit as many hats as you care to knit. For the non-knitters, remember that every behatted smoothie sold from Wednesday 4th November, innocent and Sainsbury's will give 35p to Age Concern and Help the Aged. What better encouragement do you need for a pre-Christmas detox?
As ever, some of the hats already submitted are incredibly imaginative. This 'froggy hat' by Merriwen 2009 is my personal favourite. I just love the tiny toy fly!
Read on after the jump for more of our favourites.
The time and effort that goes into these tiny hats never ceases to amaze...
Beautiful swans...
