A crochet toilet paper holder differs from a fitted cover by standing free rather than slipping directly over a roll, usually shaped as an open basket or a hanging sling for a spare roll. One of these by the shower is handy for exactly this reason. This guide gives the materials and pattern.
Materials and Pattern
- About 80 yards worsted weight yarn
- A 5.0mm hook
- Crochet a flat circle base about 4 inches across using a standard increase pattern.
- Work straight rounds of single crochet upward for about 3 inches to form the basket sides.
- Fasten off and weave in ends, leaving the top open for easy roll access.
