Age Concern Hauraki Coromandel has put out a call for people to help knit blankets over the next two months to give to senior people in the community who need them.
Age Concern’s Jo Sanderson invited people to contribute knitted squares, which must be exactly 17cm x 17cm, which can be either collected by the end of May either as squares or sewn together to create a blanket consisting of eight squares each way.
Using 4mm needles and DK or 8ply yarn of any colour, knitters needed to cast on 35 stiches adjusted to create an exact 17cm square, she said.
“Get a group of keen knitters together if you can – or just knit yourself,” Jo said.
“If you are a knitter and would like to knit a square or more, please get in touch with me now.”
