PHOTO GALLERY: Cute crochet hats spotted on Twickenham postboxes

By The Editor 8th Apr 2021

A series of crochet masterpieces have been spotted around Twickenham, placed atop postboxes like hats.

The crochet hats were found on Percy Road and Waverly Avenue.

They are accompanied by a handwritten letter explaining that it is meant to lift spirits in the community.

It says, "In these difficult times I hope that my creation makes you smile and brightens your day."

It then signposts a Facebook Group called Random Acts of Crochet Kindness.

The group describes itself as, "A group for anyone that wants to share an act of kindness, mainly for crochet."

The act of leaving knitted or crocheted art in local places has been dubbed 'yarnbombing'.

Lots of these hats appeared across the UK over the Easter weekend.

If you are the creator of these crochet hats we would love to speak with you about the project! Contact [email protected]
