It was Shelby who got me into this. I saw her jaunty hats on Ravelry on Thursday, and got the urge to make some of my own. So I did!

For anyone who doesn’t know why so many people are knitting miniature bobble hats, every year, Innocent run The Big Knit to raise money for Age Concern. For every bottle of smoothie they sell that has a hat, they will donate 50p to the charity. So the more hats they get, the more money is raised.

It took no more than half an hour to finish each hat, including making the bobble. Fortunately, I have a whizzy Inox pompom making kit, which meant making teeny little bobbles was really easy. If I hadn’t had it, I’d have probably left the poor things naked. It’s a great way to use up all the oddments in my stash, especially the scary acrylic in dodgy colours!
