Cherry Cake Tissue Box Cover and Knitting Pattern

Description

This playful knitting pattern transforms a standard cube-style tissue box (up to 12cm wide, 11cm deep, and 12cm tall) into a delicious-looking cake.

Inspired by a classic Victoria sponge, the design features layers of golden sponge with jam and cream in the centre. The top is iced in pink and decorated with piped-style rosettes, cherries, and mini pompoms that resemble sprinkles. A neat opening at the top lets the tissues peek out like a dollop of whipped cream.

It’s a joyful, light-hearted knit that turns a plain shop-bought box into something irresistibly sweet. The 3-page pattern is worked flat in DK yarn using 4mm needles, with a seam running up one corner. You’ll find helpful photos throughout, plus YouTube tutorials to guide you through the trickier techniques.

Knit one, purl cake; because sneezes deserve sweetness.
