The Cherry Cake Tissue Box Cover is a novelty knitting pattern that disguises a tissue box as a delicious slice of Victoria sponge; perfect for gifting or display.

Worked flat in one piece using DK yarn and 4mm needles, the main cover is seamed neatly up one corner. Decorative elements including rosettes of icing, cherries and drizzle; are knitted separately and sewn on, while the sprinkles are made from ready-to-use 10mm pompoms for added texture and charm.

Perfect for stash-busting and gift-making, this novelty knitting project is a sweet way to brighten up your home or craft stall. The pattern includes links to YouTube tutorial videos to guide you through the trickier techniques:
