Care home knitting group deliver 300 hats to keep babies on the RVI's special care unit warm this winter

A team of octogenarian knitters at a Durham care home have been looking after the next generation - by knitting hats for the little ones being cared for at the RVI 's special care baby unit.

The knitters - at Hallgarth Care Home in the city - have delivered 300 hats, along with cardigans and blankets, to help keep the vulnerable newborns warm.

Helped by care home staff and friends, the Hallgarth Knitters Club meets regularly to allow residents to "knit and natter".
