Volunteers from KnitWits 4 the Needy gathered at Rosebank Union Church in Hurlingham, Johannesburg, to knit and crochet blankets for people in need.
The blankets are distributed to charities, shelters and families across South Africa, helping children, the elderly and vulnerable communities stay warm.
Some of the blankets are also part of large-scale projects that have earned Guinness World Records at historic sites linked to Nelson Mandela.
Volunteers are preparing for a display at the United Nations Day of Creativity and Innovation in April, where the blankets will be showcased to the public.
