Charity baby knit patterns for jumpers and hats
Charity baby knits can be sent to your local World Vision or Save the Children collection centres. These knits are sent to poor African and Asian communities to keep little babies warm. They are simple to make and can be made in bright colours using leftover wool. It's important not to make all white knits as this is a symbol of death in some cultures. See patterns below
