Get Egg-cited for the Big Chick Knit! Craft Smiles This Easter 

Spring is in the air, and at Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service, we are thrilled to launch this year’s Big Chick Knit! This egg-citing campaign brings together crafters, families, and communities to raise vital funds to support children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.  

Whether you are a knowledgeable knitter or a casual crocheter, we need your help to make this year’s event an egg-straordinary success! 

The Big Chick Knit is a three-part campaign, and this month, we are hatching the first phase – recruiting talented and enthusiastic crafters to create adorable knitted or crocheted Easter egg toppers. These charming little chicks, bunnies, and other springtime friends will eventually perch atop chocolate eggs, spreading joy to everyone who sees them. 

Why Join the Flock? 

By taking part, you will not only have an egg-cellent time crafting but also play a key role in helping us provide specialist care and support to babies, children and young people, and their families, across Berkshire and beyond. Every stitch you make and every topper you create will make a difference. 

Plus, it is a wonderful way to connect with others who share your love for crafting. Whether you knit solo or rally your knitting circle, the Big Chick Knit promises to be a cracking good time for all. 

How to Get Involved 

Download the Pattern: We have put together easy-to-follow patterns for knitting or crocheting adorable chicks. Visit our campaign page to download the instructions today. 

Spread the Word: Share the campaign with friends, family, and your crafting community. The more egg-straordinary people we can recruit, the bigger the impact we can make! 

Craft Away: Gather your needles, hooks, yarn, and plenty of Easter spirit. Let your creativity run wild, and do not forget to share pictures of your work on social media with the hashtag #BigChickKnit 

What Happens Next? 

Once your toppers are ready and you have sent them into us, we will pair with chocolate eggs during the second phase of the campaign. In the final phase, we will sell these delightful treats across local communities to raise funds for the hospice. But first, we need your help to get knitting! 

Let’s Make This Easter Egg-stra Special 

Whether you are a master crafter or trying knitting for the first time, we welcome you to join the Big Chick Knit. Together, we can spread smiles, create beautiful toppers, and make a meaningful impact for children and families who rely on Alexander Devine. 

Egg-spect fun, laughter, and the joy of knowing that your crafting skills are supporting an egg-stremely worthy cause. So do not wait – grab your needles and let the knitting begin! 

Need our help?

The word hospice should not seem scary and getting support from us doesn’t have to mean a child’s death is imminent. Helping to enrich the lives of the children and their families is at the heart of our service, our end of life and bereavement support is just a part of what we do.

Our children’s hospice service covers the whole of Berkshire and into surrounding counties. If you think your child may be eligible for our services, please do get in touch.
