Bring a roar of colour to your craft corner with this fun-size tiger head from the Sincerely Louise faux taxidermy collection. One of the most striking designs to date, this brilliant big cat is knitted flat on straight needles, no working in the round and uses intermediate colour changes to create those iconic stripes. A perfect challenge for confident knitters who love a project with plenty of personality.

The pattern includes instructions for both the classic orange tiger and a stunning white tiger, so you can stitch your favourite or make a whole pride. Once mounted on the backing board, it’s ready to brighten a wall, a shelf or any cosy nook that needs a playful touch of the wild.
