Gentle Aussie stories, patterns and printables — ready the moment you are.

Alandtina is the home of Al and Tina’s Aussie family shop: bedtime stories read aloud by Grandma Tina and Grandpa Al, knitting, crochet and macramé patterns, and printable joys of every kind. Everything is a digital download, delivered instantly, anywhere in the world.

Our patterns are made to be picked up and enjoyed, not puzzled over — clear, step-by-step instructions written the way we’d explain them across the kitchen table. Knitters will find everything from cosy baby knits and comfort toys to our beloved Aussie animal friends; crocheters can settle in with amigurumi, doilies, blankets and gifts; and macramé makers get wall hangings, plant hangers and dream catchers, all with an unmistakable Australian touch — kangaroos, koalas, wombats and more. Every pattern is an instant-download PDF, so your next project can start tonight, wherever in the world you are.

Welcome in

We’re Al and Tina, and this is our little Aussie family shop.

It started with bedtime stories — tales of koalas, quokkas and other Aussie animals, written by us and read aloud in our own voices, the way grandparents have always told them. Then came the patterns: Tina has never been able to sit still with empty hands, so there are knitting, crochet and macramé packs for everything from baby blankets to Christmas stockings. And because a good printable makes an ordinary day easier, there are journals, planners, trivia, jokes and wall art too.

Everything here is made by our family, checked by our family, and sent to yours as an instant download. No postage, no waiting — just press download and begin.

Have a wander. We’re glad you’re here.
— Al & Tina
