The Make Give Live Story

Therapeutic knitting creates the magic behind our social enterprise.

Buy One - Give One

Make Give Live is a social enterprise. For each piece of our gorgeous knitwear you buy, we give to a child in need.

Shop Our Best Seller

Made famous by Prince Harry and Archie, this cute as a button handmade beanie has taken the world by storm.

Cocobear Bootie Set

$88.00

This cute little hat always has been one of our bestsellers for a reason, even before Archie wore it! 👑 ❤️  And what could be better than a matching pair of booties?!

Hand crafted with love in the softest 100% Merino wool. They are warm, cosy, stylish and will keep those little ears and toes toasty all winter long. Perfect as a gift or treat you own little one to a warm hug of a hat that also helps keep someone else warm.

Gentle hand wash and dry flat in the shade.

For every hat that we sell we give one to a Kiwi in real need. Help keep someone else warm this winter.

Would you like to knit this hat yourself and still keep a Kiwi in need warm this winter? Please visit our KITS page to do just that.
