Free patterns from Grandma Tina & Grandpa Al
Every so often we give a pattern away, just because. Our free patterns get the same care, the same clear instructions and the same testing as everything we sell — no strings attached, and no cut-down versions. When a pattern’s free here, it’s the real thing.
Making for Christmas? See all our Christmas patterns in one place: Christmas at AlandTina

Christmas Bauble Covers Vol 1 — the whole book, free. Twelve knitted Aussie animal bauble covers in one 27-page PDF: koala, kangaroo, wombat, quokka, bilby, cockatoo, kookaburra, platypus, echidna, wallaby, Tasmanian devil and emu. Every cover slips over a standard 6 cm bauble — the kindest use ever found for that box of tired baubles in the cupboard — and they all share one simple ladder, so you learn it once and knit twelve.
Join the AlandTina letter below and the complete Vol 1 lands in your inbox, along with 10% off your first order. It’s the full book, exactly as it sells in our shop — no cut-down version, no catch.
