A crochet toilet tissue cover slips directly over a roll of tissue, worked as a simple tube with a closed or domed top, functioning identically to a toilet paper cover under a slightly different common name. I use both terms interchangeably in my own pattern notes. This guide gives a quick-reference version of the pattern with sizing notes for both standard and jumbo rolls.
Materials and Pattern
- About 60 yards worsted weight yarn
- A 5.0mm hook
- Chain 2, work 6 single crochet into the second chain from the hook, closing the ring.
- Increase each round following a standard circle count until you reach 24 stitches for a standard roll, or 28 to 30 stitches for a jumbo roll.
- Work straight rounds of single crochet with no further increases for about 4 inches to form the body.
- Fasten off and weave in ends, leaving the bottom open to slide over the roll.
Sizing for Standard vs. Jumbo Rolls
| Roll type | Base stitch count | Approximate diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Standard roll | 24 stitches | 4 to 4.5 inches |
| Double roll | 26 stitches | 4.5 to 5 inches |
| Jumbo or mega roll | 28 to 30 stitches | 5 to 5.5 inches |
Finishing Touches
A small button or fabric bow sewn to the closed top round adds a finished, decorative look, or leave the top open entirely if the cover is meant to sit loosely over the roll rather than fully enclose it. Matching the cover to a set of other crocheted bathroom accessories, like a matching bath mat or seat cover, creates a more cohesive overall look.
Frequently asked questions
Is a toilet tissue cover the same as a toilet paper cover?
Yes, both terms describe the same fitted sleeve that slips directly over a roll, just using slightly different common wording for the same item.
