The Basic Blank Beanie, created for St Mungo’s Woolly Hat Day, is crying out for you to customise him. Look at him all plain and unadorned. Wouldn’t you like to pepper him with purly personality, jazz him up with a blizzard of buttons or add some awesome sauce with some elegant embroidery.

Shove some individuality into your Basic Blank Beanie and boldly knit a hat that no one has ever knit before. You’ll be doing it for a very worthy cause. Use his powers for good by helping the homeless.
