Making a crochet tissue box cover is a cozy and fun project that adds a touch of warmth to any room. With just some yarn and a crochet hook, you can whip up a cute cover that not only hides those plain tissue boxes but also reflects your personal style. It's a simple and enjoyable task that results in a charming and practical piece for your home or a thoughtful gift for someone special.
How To Crochet Tissue Box Cover
Materials Needed:
- Cotton yarn
- Crochet hook (3mm size recommended)
- A pair of scissors
Tissue Box Measurements:
- Length: 23 cm
- Width: 6 cm
- Height: 11 cm
Pattern Instructions:
Foundation Chain:
- Start by creating 48 chains.
Creating the Base Circle:
- Join the end of the chain with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a circle.
- Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Make 3 double crochets into the circle, then chain 1. This forms your first cluster.
- Repeat the process of making 3 double crochets followed by 1 chain, 7 times, around the circle.
Creating Corners:
- After completing 7 clusters, make a cluster (3 double crochets) at a corner.
- Chain 2 for the corner space and make another cluster (3 double crochets) in the same space to form the corner.
- Chain 1 and move to the next side of your base.
Continuing the Pattern:
- Follow the same pattern of clusters and chaining 1 in between, for each side.
- For each corner, repeat the corner-making process (3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets in the same space).
Switching Colors:
- After completing a round, cut the yarn and hide the tail with a needle.
- Start the next round with a new color if preferred. Attach the new yarn before a corner, chain 2 (counts as a double crochet) and start making your clusters.
Final Rounds:
- Continue the process of clusters and corners, following the pattern established in the initial rounds.
- For the final rounds, do not chain between clusters unless it's a corner space. This tightens the pattern around the tissue box.
- Finalize the cover by adjusting the pattern to fit the measurement of your tissue box. Add additional rounds if necessary.
Completing The Cover:
- Once the cover reaches the desired size, finish off by cutting the yarn and hiding the tail with a needle.
- Place the cover over the tissue box to ensure a snug fit.
Enjoy your handmade crochet creation!
