It's the time of year when knitters nationwide start click-clacking away in an endeavour to make more tiny hats for fruit drink bottles than any knitter has ever knit before. Yes folks, The Big Knit is back.
Each year Innocent, kings of the smoothie, call on the knitting masses to conjure up mountains of tiny hats. The hats are then sent out into stores and perch upon bottles until some lucky shopper comes along and buys them, smoothie and all.
For every behatted bottle sold, 25p will be donated to Age UK (formerly Age Concern). Fruity goodness for you and a warm glow in your heart for everyone.
Everything you need to know, including some free patterns, is on the Innocent website.
The knitting deadline is October 5.
How many tiny hats do you think you can cram in by then. Race you!
