Knit a hat for a Tibetan baby

Save the Children are running a campaign that calls on knitters to help save newborn babies' lives.

Get knitting everyone!!

PS - If you are knitting hats to send to Tibet, please don't use white wool as white is associated with death in Tibetan culture. I think this is the same in some other cultures too - Chinese, possibly Indian and also Japanese. So maybe it's just best to avoid white altogether!
