Charity Patterns

At Nixneedles we believe that we should help those less fortunate than ourselves, whether they have 2 legs or 4 legs.  On a number of occasions we have been granted permission for a number of our free knitting patterns to be made to fundraise for a number of different charities.  Here you will find links to those free knitting patterns, please feel free to use them to support your local charities.  We have also included a few patterns which we donate to homeless charities and animal rescue centres.
