Knit Lucinda Ganderton's easy striped baby hat and raise money for charity

Use DK from your yarn stash to knit this adorable baby hat, which is packing a double punch when it comes to supporting good causes! The hat was originally designed for a previous campaign from the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) and designer Lucinda Ganderton has given permission for you to make and sell the hat to raise money for the organisation.

The bee theme also raises awareness for bumble bee conservation and 20th May has been designated World Bee Day by the United Nations.
