Tissue Box Cover

Tissue Box Cover Crochet Pattern

What You're Making

This is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern for a custom-fitted tissue box cover designed by CrochetFox. The cover is created to fit standard tissue boxes measuring 12.5 cm x 12 cm x 13 cm tall, with an opening slot of 6 cm for tissue dispensing. The pattern allows for customization based on your specific tissue box dimensions, making it a practical and decorative home accessory.

Crochet Techniques Used

This project employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The main construction method involves working in the round and in rows to create a three-dimensional box cover. The pattern uses a foundation chain to establish the base dimensions, then builds upward with consistent stitch work. The cover is constructed in two main sections—the body and the top—which are then sewn together. Embroidery work is added as a decorative finishing touch, requiring basic needle and yarn embroidery skills.

Stitches Used

• Single Crochet (sc): The primary stitch used throughout the entire project for both the cover body and the top sections
• Chain (Ch): Used to create the foundation and turning chains
• Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds and finish off sections

Materials Required

You will need a 3 mm crochet hook for this project. The yarn requirements include 70 grams of light blue yarn for the main cover body. For embroidery details, you'll need additional yarn in brown, dark blue, blue, yellow, pink, and rose colors. A yarn needle is essential for sewing the cover sections together and completing the embroidery work. You'll also need scissors for cutting yarn.

Pattern Structure

The cover is constructed in three main components. The main Cover Body begins with a chain of 120 stitches joined into a ring, then worked in single crochet for 37 rounds. The Cover Top is made in two identical parts, each created by chaining 35 stitches and working 17 rows of single crochet. These two top pieces are sewn together on top of the box cover, with careful attention to leaving a 6 cm opening for the tissue slot. The pattern emphasizes checking the fit as you work by keeping your tissue box nearby for measurement verification.

Customization Notes

This pattern is designed to be adaptable to different tissue box sizes. The length of the foundation chain corresponds directly to the length of your tissue box, the number of rows in the Cover Top adjusts to match the width of your box, and the number of rows in the Cover Sides should match your box height. This flexibility makes the pattern suitable for various tissue box dimensions beyond the specified measurements.
