Crocheting isn’t just for scarves and blankets! You can add a touch of handmade charm to your bathroom with a crocheted toilet paper holder. This is a quick and easy project that’s perfect for beginners or experienced crocheters alike.
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted-weight yarn in your favorite color(s). I used about 75 yards of light brown yarn.
- Crochet hook: Size H-8 (5mm) crochet hook.
- Optional: Stitch marker, tapestry needle, and a cardboard roll or dowel to use as a form.
Instructions:
- Chain 24.
- Double crochet in the third chain from the hook and each chain across. (22 dc)
- Turn your work.
- Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet), double crochet in each stitch across. (22 dc)
- Repeat rows 3 and 4 until your piece measures about 8 inches long.
- Optional: If you’re using a cardboard roll or dowel as a form, insert it now and continue crocheting to secure the form in place.
- Fold the bottom edge of the piece up about 1 inch and single crochet around the sides to close.
- Weave in your ends and you’re done!
Tips:
- You can adjust the length of the holder to fit your needs. Just make sure it’s long enough to hold a roll of toilet paper securely.
- Get creative with your yarn! Use different colors or textures to add personality to your holder.
- If you’re not comfortable crocheting in the round, you can work this project flat and then seam the sides together.
- Add a button or ribbon to the top of your holder for a decorative touch.
Here are some additional ideas for customizing your crocheted toilet paper holder:
- Use a textured stitch pattern, such as the puff stitch or the moss stitch.
- Add a fringe or pom-pom to the bottom edge.
- Crochet a small pocket on the side to hold other bathroom essentials, such as hand sanitizer or cotton swabs.
- Make a matching set of holders for your other bathroom fixtures.
With a little creativity, you can easily crochet a toilet paper holder that’s both stylish and functional. So grab your hook and yarn and get started!
