NIFTY knitters at Knowsley Junior School took up their needles to make mini woollen bobble hats for charity.

Over 100 miniature creations - including Mr Men figures, swans, bananas and even Princess Charlotte - have been knitted by the school as part of the Big Knit initiative.

Each woollen hat will be placed upon Innocent drinks and smoothies and every bottle sold will mean a 25p donation to Age UK.
