To our friends at Lincraft - Thank-you 💚

As Lincraft’s stores progressively close their doors, we want to recognise the incredible support they’ve given KOGO over the years. They are committed to staying a KOGO drop-off point right up until closing day, and will keep sending every donation straight to us.

Our KOGO team is already hard at work finding alternate drop-off locations for every community affected but while your local Lincraft remains open, please keep using it as your drop-off point! Every beanie, scarf and blanket you drop off at Lincraft will make it to someone who needs it.

80+ years of Australian support, right to the very end. Thank you, Lincraft. 🧡

🧶 EMPTY SHELVES…WE NEED KOGO ELVES🧶

We have been wrapping Australia’s most vulnerable in warmth since 2004 but right now our shelves are bare, and we cannot support requests from our community partners.

We need:
👶 Baby blankets: size 1.2m x 1m
🍼 Pram blankets: size 75cm x 75cm

Grab your needles, your hooks, that stash of yarn you’ve been “saving for something special” this is that something special! Every blanket you make is warmth, comfort and love for a family doing it tough.

👋 New Logo, Same KOGO!

After 20 plus years, we’ve given ourselves a little makeover. 🧶

Our original logo with its beautiful grid of coloured dots representing the countless stitches, scarves, beanies and blankets knitted with love has been a symbol of who we are since the very beginning. It’s carried us from 180 scarves in 2004 to over 120,000 handmade items in the past year. We will always be proud of everything it stood for.

But just like a favourite knitting pattern that gets a fresh update, the time felt right for something new. Say hello to our new look! ✨ Warm, welcoming and a little bit playful just like every single one of you. The scarf wrapped lovingly around our name is a nod to where it all began, and a reminder that at the heart of everything we do is a hand-made act of kindness.

Our name, our mission and our community haven’t changed one bit. We’re still the same KOGO you know and love we’ve just put on a fresh beanie! 😊

Thank you for being part of this journey. Every stitch you’ve ever made has brought us here.
We’d love to hear what you think drop a 💚 in the comments if you love it!
