I've agreed to knit some hats to put in the presents (which are in wrapped shoe boxes). The lady organising it uses a simple knitting pattern, which I've put below, but I'm sure all hats are welcome. If anyone would like to help out and knit a few hats bring them along to the Centurion or Forth knitting groups and I'll take them in to school. If you're not in Newcastle send me an email of leave a comment and I'll sort something out with you.

I think all the schools in Morpeth are involved in this as we get letters home about it every year. I'm not so sure I agree with their philosophy of adding 'Gospel booklets' in with the gifts, but otherwise it's a sound principal. Thanks for posting the pattern.
I'm not sure I really agree with the gospel booklets either. I think if the recipients are Christians then maybe they'll be glad of it and if not they'll probably just ignore it.
