grand hat judging grand winners

As we've said before, the creativity of Big Knit hats sent in this year has been astonishing. Last week we gave you the chance to vote for your favourite hats and we're now excited to be announcing the winners.
Edith W won the Best Little Hat(s) category with her fantastic monsters.
The hedgehog ran away with the Most Creative Hat prize - gaining a whopping 42.66% of the vote. Congratulations to Mrs Cobb for sending in this brilliant design.
This lovely little snowman, knitted by Mrs Rackham and the Titter Tatters was the Favourite Seasonal Hat. We think it was the posh broom that swung it.
And (drum roll please). The Hat of the Year - Your favourite of favourite hats from all the Hats of the Weeks was the Green Dragon. So a massive well done to Kate E for taking this grand prize.
We'll be contacting all the winners soon and sending you a special Big Knit trophy and a nice box of smoothies.







































Thank you all so much for voting my little hat "hat of the year". I am the most proud I have ever been! :)

I love these hats!! Last year someone in work got a few of them and we had no idea why all the smoothies had hats on! Anyway, I have a collection of rubber band balls, who all now have hats and are nice and warm, so thanks!
I might even start knitting some hats myself!!

I love you guys! You make me smile every month with your ace little newsletters - its the only promo material i read...ever really.
I was hoping the artist fella would win, as he was a mighty hat, but the choices are fair and just :)

WOW!
These hats are amazing!!!
I just got my Rowan Innocent knitting Kit and thought I'd get some inspiration, but I had no idea just how fantastic some of these would be!
Don't think I can do anything as amazing, but hopefully my little wooly hats will still make some money for Age Concern!
I will keep an eye on these fab little hats!!!
