Calling all knitters in UK! It’s time to take your knitting needles, crochet hooks, and yarn out for a good cause. Big Knit 2025 is a joint project with Age UK and innocent drinks where they collect small knitted hats from their supporters and place it on innocent drink smoothie bottles. For every behatted drink sold, a portion goes to Age UK, an organization who supports the elderly, folks with dementia, and their carers. You can join this purl-fect project by sending in a hat, or two, or even a hundred. It doesn’t matter how many you send in, what matters is every stich you make is a loop of love.
We’re so excited to announce that Age UK’s partnership with innocent drinks has returned! It’s that time again to grab your knitting needles and crochet hooks and get involved. What makes this campaign so special is that every hat knitted raises 30p to help Age UK provide much-needed services to support older people.
The 2024/25 campaign aims to knit 1.4 million little hats, with the smoothies hitting shelves in October 2025. Here at Age UK Plymouth, we’re feeling very ambitious with a target of 2,500 little hats! So why not grab your knitting needles, start stitching, and make a real difference?
Please send your completed hats to:

Did you know that back in November 2014, innocent drinks got the Guiness World Record for the largest display of knitted sculptures as part of the Big Knit campaign? It consisted of 9,100 mini hats and was displayed in The Little Museum, Dublin. While there is no attempt to break that world record this year, the main reason for this campaign remains the same – to help the vulnerable elderly enjoy their later years in life. Join Big Knit 2025 and make a difference in the lives of the elderly one stitch at a time. Unravel the mysteries of knitting and connect with other fellow Big Knit 2025 knitters here.
