A dear old couple from the fairy tales: Grandad with a fluffy white beard, a blue shirt with a belt and bast shoes, and Granny in a pink headscarf, a purple top, a white apron with a red border and a long skirt. Perfect for a puppet theatre, for retelling Kolobok, the Turnip and other folk tales, or as a sweet gift for grandparents.

A knitting pattern by Svetlana Zabelina with step-by-step instructions, tips and process photos. Only Grandad and Granny are included (the other fairy-tale characters are separate patterns).
