Pocket Tissue Pack Cover (Crochet)

Pocket Tissue Pack Cover (Crochet)

What is Being Made

This pattern creates a functional pocket tissue pack cover designed to hold and protect standard pocket-sized tissue packets. The cover is worked in crochet using two contrasting colors of DK weight yarn, with the original samples crafted in Sirdar Snuggly yarn. The finished cover features a closure mechanism using a fastener such as a hook, large press stud, or velcro to keep the tissue pack securely contained.

Techniques Used

This intermediate-level crochet project employs fundamental crochet construction techniques suitable for crafters with basic crochet experience. The pattern uses standard crochet methods to create a structured, wearable accessory that combines colorwork with practical closure options. The two-color design adds visual interest while the fastening system demonstrates functional garment construction principles.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) – foundational stitch used to create the base and structure of the cover
• Double Crochet (dc) – referred to as single crochet in US terminology; primary stitch for building fabric density and structure
• Treble (tr) – referred to as double crochet in US terminology; used for creating texture and variation in the fabric
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – used for joining rounds and securing stitches
• Decrease (dec) – a technique involving inserting the hook into consecutive stitches and drawing yarn through multiple loops to reduce stitch count and shape the cover

Materials

This pattern requires small amounts of DK weight yarn in two contrasting colors (designated as A for the lighter shade and B for the darker shade). The original samples were worked using Sirdar Snuggly yarn. A 3.50 mm crochet hook is needed to work with this yarn weight. Additionally, a fastener is required to complete the cover – options include a hook, large press stud, or velcro, allowing crafters to choose their preferred closure method based on personal preference and available materials.
