Materials You'll Need

Worsted weight yarn (approximately 20 yards, color of your choice)

Scissors
Yarn needle
Standard-sized toilet paper roll

Choose your favorite yarn color! Consider coordinating it with your bathroom's existing décor for a cohesive look. A fun, bright color can also add a cheerful pop to a neutral space.

Gauge isn't critical for this project, as the final size will adjust to fit your toilet paper roll. However, a consistent tension will ensure a neat and professional-looking finish.

Crochet Toilet Paper Roll Cover Pattern Instructions

Round 1: Base

With your chosen yarn and hook, create a magic ring (or a chain 4, slip stitch to form a ring).

Chain 1 (counts as a double crochet), then work 6 double crochet stitches into the ring. Slip stitch to join the round.

Round 2: Increasing

Chain 1 (counts as a double crochet). Double crochet 2 stitches into each stitch around. Slip stitch to join. (12 stitches)

Round 3 - 6: Increasing (optional)

Continue increasing in each stitch as you did in Round 2. Adjust the number of rounds based on the desired height and the size of your toilet paper roll. You might need 3-6 rounds of increasing before you start the next part. Experiment to find what works best for you.

Round 7 - 10: Working in the Round

Once the cover is wide enough to fit comfortably around your toilet paper roll, start working double crochet stitches without increasing. Continue for a few rounds, maintaining the same height as the previous rounds. This will form the main body of the cover.

Round 11: Decreasing (optional)

For a slightly tapered top, you can start decreasing in this round by working two double crochet stitches together every other stitch.

Finishing

Once the cover reaches your desired height, fasten off the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in ends. Use your yarn needle to carefully weave in all loose ends.

Slide the finished crocheted piece onto your toilet paper roll. This handmade cover will protect and beautify your toilet paper, adding a personal touch to your bathroom.

Tips and Variations

Add embellishments: Embellish your cover with buttons, beads, or small crocheted flowers for added flair.
Change the stitch: Experiment with different stitches, such as single crochet or half double crochet, for varied texture and look.
Use different yarn: Try using a textured yarn or a different weight of yarn for a unique outcome. Remember to adjust your hook size accordingly.
Make it a set: Crochet matching covers for your hand soap dispenser or other bathroom items for a coordinated look.
Get creative with color: Try using stripes or color changes for a more visually interesting cover.
