Knitting Unites: 2025 Is About to Get Super Cosy Thanks to These Charities
Knitting and crocheting are great ways to give back; you get a peaceful hobby, and society stays warm and cosy through the winter. These organisations need your needles and hooks:
South Africa (24 January 2025) – As South Africans pick up new “granny hobbies” like crochet and knitting, they are finding that the hobby allows for giving back to society. Whether just making Granny Squares or challenging oneself to make an entire blanket, knitting baby booties, beanies and preemie octopuses, or the most adorable dog jerseys, there is a way to use wool to give back to others.
This charity list features organisations that try to make winter more bearable for the many who face it under-resourced, whether knitting beanies, blankets, booties and beanies, soft toys and scarves. These organisations specifically welcome knitted and crochet items or facilitate the purchase of these items in support of other causes.
