Crochet Cat Toilet Roll Covers in King Cole Luxe Fur

What Is Being Made

These are decorative crochet cat toilet roll covers designed to fit over standard toilet paper rolls. The pattern creates charming feline-themed holders that combine functionality with whimsical home décor. The covers feature a grey and cream cat design, adding a playful touch to bathroom storage and organization.

Project Overview

This is an intermediate-level crochet project suitable for crafters with foundational crochet skills. The pattern is presented as a downloadable PDF leaflet (9070) and provides detailed instructions for creating cat-shaped toilet roll covers that work as both practical holders and decorative accessories.

Crochet Techniques Used

The pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques including working in continuous rounds without turning, which creates seamless cylindrical forms ideal for toilet roll covers. The construction uses the wrong side as the working surface during certain sections. Increases are strategically placed throughout the pattern to shape the cat design, particularly in the ears and main cover sections.

Stitches and Abbreviations

• Chain (ch) – The foundation stitch used to create loops and foundation chains
• Double crochet (dc) – The primary stitch throughout the pattern, providing structure and density
• Slip stitch (sl st) – Used to join rounds and create seamless transitions between sections
• Double crochet increase (dc increase) – Worked as ch1 followed by dc in the same stitch, used to expand sections for shaping the cat's head and ears
• Fasten off (FO) – Finishing technique to secure yarn at the end of the project

Construction Method

The cat toilet roll covers are constructed by working in continuous rounds. The pattern begins with a chain foundation that is joined into a loop, then builds outward with increasing rounds of double crochet stitches. The ears are formed through strategic increases that create the characteristic pointed cat ear shape. The pattern works from the inside out on the wrong side, then transitions to create the main cover section that will hold the toilet paper roll.

Materials Required

This pattern is specifically designed for King Cole Luxe Fur yarn in aran weight, which provides the soft, plush texture characteristic of the finished covers. The luxurious fur yarn creates a tactile, decorative finish. Standard crochet hooks appropriate for aran-weight yarn are required, though the specific hook size should be referenced in the complete pattern leaflet for optimal tension and finished dimensions.

Yarn Weight and Fiber Characteristics

The aran-weight yarn used in this pattern is a medium-weight option that works up quickly while providing excellent stitch definition. King Cole Luxe Fur is specifically formulated to create a fuzzy, textured appearance that enhances the cat design's visual appeal and makes the covers soft to touch—an important consideration for bathroom décor items.

Difficulty Level

Rated as intermediate, this project requires comfort with basic crochet fundamentals including chain stitches, double crochet, slip stitches, and increases. Crafters should be familiar with working in continuous rounds and reading pattern abbreviations. The project is accessible to those beyond complete beginner level but does not require advanced techniques such as color changes or complex stitch combinations.
