Crochet Tissue Box Cover

Looking to add a touch of charm to your living space? Why not consider a crochet tissue box cover! Not only does it keep your tissues neatly concealed, but it also adds a cozy and personalized touch to your home décor. With endless color and pattern options, you can easily find one that matches your style. Plus, these covers make for a fun and thoughtful gift for friends and family. So why settle for a plain tissue box when you can elevate it with a handmade crochet cover that brings warmth and character to any room!

Notes: This project is crocheted from the top down, so you can try it on the tissue box as you go. It’s meant for a standard square tissue box. 

Yarn: I used leftover yarn from my stash that may not be made anymore. It’s Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, Country Colors in Country Yellow. Or if you’re feeling fancy, Bernat Couleurs de Campagne in Jaune de Pays. It’s a worsted weight, machine washable cotton yarn.

Hook: 4.5mm

Gauge: I did not make a gauge swatch. The yarn’s gauge for 4×4 inches (10 cm) is 20 stitches and 26 rows with a 4.5mm hook, if that helps you out.

Other: 4 removable stitch markers may help. Safety pins will do.

Chain 24, connect to form a loop

Make 32 single crochets in the loop (around the chain)

Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as a Dc), 2 Dc in the same st as the starting chain, *Hdc in next st, Sc in next 5 sts, Hdc in next st, 3 Dc in next st, repeat from * twice, Hdc in next st, Sc in next 5 sts, Hdc in next st, join with Sl st to top of starting Ch 3

Round 2: Sl st in next dc (middle of 3 Dc cluster below), Ch 3 (counts as a Dc), 2 Dc in the same st as the starting chain, *Hdc in next st, Sc in next 7 sts, Hdc in next st, 3 Dc in next st, repeat from * twice, Hdc in next st, Sc in next 7 sts, Hdc in next st, join with Sl st to top of starting Ch 3

(Note: Round 3 repeats Round 2 but with 9 Sc on each side instead of 7 Sc)

Round 3: Sl st in next dc (middle of 3 Dc cluster below), Ch 3 (counts as a Dc), 2 Dc in the same st as the starting chain, *Hdc in next st, Sc in next 7 sts, Hdc in next st, 3 Dc in next st, repeat from * twice, Hdc in next st, Sc in next 7 sts, Hdc in next st, join with Sl st to top of starting Ch 3

Final Thoughts
