Pattern: Innocent Hats for The Big Knit
Yarn: All the oddments from my stash. Mainly acrylic, but also some wool, cashmere blend and cotton.
Needles: Two 3.75mm Addi dpns.
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!
They are oh-so-cute!
Very adorable, and a great stash buster! I don’t think we have a similar charity project on this side of the pond….but I love the idea of a quick knit to use up all those oddments. Maybe I’ll do some and ship them over, just to be useful. Yours are very cute & inspiring!
I have a lady in my knitting group that has made loads of those, maybe i’ll make some too! yours are cool!
Awww, I feel so proud to have inspired somebody!
I am seriously impressed, 20 hats already!! I think I’m up to 10 now, including the latest…a traffic cone that most people can’t tell what it is LOL!
Your hats are all so cute, I love all the different colours!
They look fab
I think I have to make some now…

My hat production is well underway this year — it is such a great initiative!
These are awesome and to such a great cause. They look great. . . how many do you think you will make? (i think I hear an addiction coming on)
They look great! I am going to try to make a few this weekend. You’ve inspired me to have a go!
