Grey fair-isle firelighter box cover

Firelighter: small solid fuel tablets sold as a consumer product and designed to replace kindling in starting a fire. Firelighters are typically used to start wood or coal fire in homes.

That's what wikipedia told me atleast...

Over here, these firelighters are wastely popular and almost every husehold use them to light a fire in the fireplace/oven. Even more popular over the past two-three years have been making a cover for the boxes, since they're so ugly and stick out like a soar tumb.
Usually it's fair-isle or cable patterns, and the most popular of them all is the traditional Marius pattern. Since this is a christmas present for my brother, whom is a car crazed dude, I figured I'd take out the crosses and diamonds in the pattern and add in cars instead. Turned out pretty nicely, I think. Let's just hope my boring "nothing is ever good for me and I don't care about anything" brother will like it.
