More Smoothie Hats *grins*
I have posted about the Innocent Big Knit before (at the end of the post), but in summary - Innocent Smoothies have a charity drive where knitters produce little wooly hats for their smoothies. Each be-hatted drink that is bought donates 25p to Age UK to help keep older people warm in winter.
Obviously it's a good cause, and the little hats are quick and fun to make. Some people go crazy with it and create the most amazing and bizarre hats. As you can see, I have stuck with simple ones *smiles*
The first one in the picture was actually my attempt at a crochet hat, which isn't perfect but was extra quick to make. The 4th one is some wonderfully fluffy blue yarn, snowflake type I think. It was gifted to me by a colleague and seemed perfect for a smoothie hat - although I think it needs little googly eyes - it reminds me of a creature from Sesame Street or something *laughs*
My favourite is the most relatively simple one though:
But it's orange, so of course it is my favourite ;)
And, being Friday, you know the drill: head over to Natural Suburbia, Tami's, Wisdom Begins in Wonder and Plumslife. Have a great weekend all :)
ps, blogger seems to be having a bit of an issue with commenting on here yesterday/today, so I've changed the comment box to a pop up and you might need to click the "post comment" button a couple of times to get it to show up, sorry about that!

the smoothie hats are so cute. I like the white one with the bunny ears.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! Love them!
ReplyDeleteYou know, even though I knit, I can't help but want those. They are fun and a great way to raise money for a fundraiser.
ReplyDeleteNatalie--Yay, orange!! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteAll the little hats are so cute! That sounds like a great charity. I would totally buy a bottle with a hat.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Thanks for sharing at Fibers on Friday!!
ReplyDeletewhat an incredibly fun fundraiser--I'd buy one in a heartbeat! (and probably make dozens!!!) thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Any of them would be darling on little kids!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about the smoothie hats but never realised how the scheme worked. Can you purchase a hatted bottle in the shops? Glad I clicked on your link as I finally found the pics of your finished clapotis (missed it at the time). An amazing knit and I hope you have had further wear out of it xx
ReplyDeleteThey are really cute !! will have to check out the smoothie scheme..
ReplyDeleteThe smoothie hats are such a cute idea for a fundraiser. I wish we had a similar charity over here in the US!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute, I love them and the thought behind them too!
ReplyDeleteYay for little hats! Which reminds me I must make more, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLucky smoothie heads! Sounds like a great cause and fun way to knit for charity.
ReplyDeleteWicked!
ReplyDeleteCute little hats for a great cause -- it's a win/win for sure.
ReplyDeleteThese hats are so adorable! Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments!
ReplyDeleteSo cute...awesome idea for a fund raiser.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!!
What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI live in Australia where we are heading towards summer, but we are having some perfectly melbournesque spring weather right now...rainy and cold in the middle of spring.
I'm an aged carer, so I get really concerned when I enter a clients house and it is freezing. I'll have to look into something like this for melbourne next winter...
Those are SO cute, they have to be such fun little projects! (And for a good cause, too!)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of adding little googly eyes -- I hope you do one like that. :)
These are so cute and look really fun to make! I like the orange one the best, too! Can't beat adorable knits for a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, I have not made any yet this year, but I think there is still time, perhaps I should dig through my scraps bag
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of the strawberry bottle little cover that my friend got when she bought a bottle of something from Boots :) Which is possibly related to the charity that you mention, as I remember it being charity related.
ReplyDeleteI must say all of yours are looking adorable! My favourite one is the same as your favourite :) so bright and cute :)
adorable! definitely a great way to raise money =)
ReplyDeleteif we had those smoothies in the US I'd definitely make some, too! (I also wish we had those smoothies because they look really tasty!)
Such cute little hats. Thanks for posting about their purpose.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. And your hats are so cute.
