Crochet Toilet Paper Cover

A crochet toilet paper cover is a small fitted sleeve, usually worked as a tube with a closed or domed top, sized to slip over a standard roll for a decorative or novelty bathroom accent. These make quick gift-basket fillers, since the whole project uses under an hour of yarn and hook time. This guide covers the exact materials, a full round-by-round pattern, and finishing touches like a hanging loop or size adjustment.

A 5.0mm hook

Pattern Instructions

Round 1: Chain 2, work 6 single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Pull the tail to close the ring.
Round 2: 2 single crochet in each stitch around (12 stitches).
Round 3: alternate 1 single crochet, 2 single crochet in next stitch, repeat around (18 stitches).
Round 4: alternate 2 single crochet, 2 single crochet in next stitch, repeat around (24 stitches).
Rounds 5 through 12: single crochet in each stitch around with no further increases, working straight up the side of the tube to form the body of the cover.
Fasten off and weave in the tail at the top.

Finishing Notes

Hanging loop: Chain 8 to 10 at the top edge before fastening off, then slip stitch the chain into a small loop for hanging on a wall hook.
Sizing adjustment: Standard rolls fit a 24-stitch diameter body, but a double or jumbo roll may need an extra increase round to fit comfortably.
Decorative top: Sew a button or bead to the center of the closed top round for a finished look, or leave the top open if the cover is meant to sit over the roll rather than fully enclose it.

Frequently asked questions

What size yarn and hook work best for this holder?

Worsted weight yarn with a 5.0mm hook gives a fabric dense enough to hold its tube shape without being stiff or bulky. A thinner yarn works too but needs a proportionally smaller hook and more rounds to reach the same finished size.
