Top of the Crochet Toilet Paper Cover

Ch 4 and join with a sl st.

Round One: Ch 3 (counts as one dc st). 11 dc into the center ring. Join with a sl st at the top of the Ch 3. Place a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round and move after each round to mark the beginning/ending of the round.

Rnd 2: Ch 1. 2 sc into each dc around to the end. Sl st to connect round. (24 single crochet stitches).

Rnd 3: Ch 3. *2 dc in first sc, dc in next sc. Rep from * to end of round and join with a sl st. (36 double crochet stitches)

Rnd 4: Ch 1. Sc in each dc around. Join with a sl st (36 sc stitches).

Rnd 6: Ch 1. Sc in each st around and join with a sl st. (48 sc stitches)

Stop and Measure

Stop and measure your cover on a typical toilet paper roll. Add an additional round of single crochet stitches if your top does not line up, otherwise, proceed to round seven.

Sides of the Crochet Toilet Paper Cover

Rnd 7: Ch 3. Dc through back loop (tbl) around and join with a sl st.

Rnd 8: Ch 1. Sc in each st around. Join with a sl st.

Rnd 9: Ch 3. Dc in each st around. Join with a sl st.

Repeat rows 8 and 9 until your reach your desired length. My sides were four inches tall (10 cm). This worked out to be six rows of single crochet and six rows of double crochet stitches.

Weave all ends in at least three different directions to ensure that the project ends don't come loose during use.

Happy Crocheting,

Janice
