Description
📖 WHAT’S INSIDE
12 knitted tissue box cover patterns in one PDF (27 pages) — a whole aviary of Australian birds for the plainest box in the house. Rainbow Lorikeet, Azure Kingfisher, Superb Fairy-wren, Australian Magpie, Galah, Crimson Rosella, Tawny Frogmouth, Australian Pelican, Black Swan, Little Penguin, Superb Lyrebird and Budgerigar — every bird an original design, worked in DK yarn on 3.25 mm needles.
🧶 ONE LADDER, TWELVE BIRDS
Every cover in this collection is built on the same friendly ladder: a 76-stitch tube, a top panel, and a tissue slit that is KNITTED IN — bound off and cast on again, never cut. Learn it once on the lorikeet and the other eleven are variations. Ten birds wear raised heads beside the slit; the tawny frogmouth and little penguin are flat-face designs appliqued on the side, made for car consoles and low shelves. The black swan adds the book’s only neck; the pelican, its biggest bill.
📏 SKILL & SIZE
Confident beginner. Each pattern opens with its own photo page and a pattern-at-a-glance box (type, size, pieces, colours, level), then full round-by-round instructions with the stitch count on every round. Fits a standard rectangular tissue box (about 9 x 4.5 x 3.25 in / 23 x 11.5 x 8 cm). Print at 100% on A4 or Letter.
💛 WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
