Welcome!
Alan Dart's diverse craft work has appeared in numerous magazines, he has written several books, and has taught knitwear design at art colleges whilst also demonstrating crafts on two children's television series. Currently his toy designs appear regularly in Simply Knitting and Woman's Weekly
This site provides a one stop shop where you will find all Alan's designs, both old and new, together with news of forthcoming characters. Within the toy patterns page you can easily view, select, and download original pdf files from an ever increasing range of designs for only £2.50 each.
"Thank you to all of you who have already bought from this site, and for your encouraging and heartwarming messages. If you look on the products page you will see that two more patterns have now been added to the shop.
Although I'm sure many of you will already have the Juletide Gnomes pattern, quite a few people have written to me to ask where they can find a copy, so I have decided to include the original three in the list ..... together with a new tiny version, which is exclusive to this site.
The Labrador Retriever comes from the Perfect Pups range of dogs I designed in 2002, and the others in this series will be appearing soon, together with the cats from my Knitted Kitties range.More patterns released July
Happy toymaking."
