Mitten Bank
A project to knit mittens and give them away for free.
Yellow mittens for a child, 2023
As a reaction to the cost of living crisis in 2023, I knit 30 pairs of mittens and gave them away for free. My aims were to donate warm items to people in need, share a small act of kindness with the world, and inspire others to make or donate.
The pattern I used was ‘Simple Mitts’ by Frankie Brown on Ravelry.
The groups who kindly distributed my mittens were Himmah Foodbank, Nottingham Women’s Centre, and the Community Orchard on St Ann’s Allotments.
A special thank you to Loop London who donated beautiful yarns for me to use.
