Arran knitters rally to call for bonnets
Knitters from all over Arran have responded to a call for knitted hats for newborn babies at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital’s maternity unit.
Hundreds of tiny hats have already been handed in to Brodick Co-op, which bought a huge amount of wool for supporters to use.
The colourful hats will now be sent to the hospital by Carol Hardwood and Liz Maclean of
Brodick Co-op. Bay Wool and Crafts in Whiting Bay, which is also supporting the initiative by providing reduced-price wool and free patterns, is also acting as a collection point for completed hats.
Anyone wanting to take part in the initiative can visit either of the locations to obtain the patterns, requirements and wool needed for the hats.
