There is something so comforting and cozy about being able to make things for our homes. With just a ball of yarn and a hook, the possibilities of kitschy, charming touches to our homes are positively endless. Today, I’ve made a crochet towel holder.

Supplies You Will Need:

  • Crochet hook: 5.00 mm
  • Worsted weight yarn in any color(s) you choose
  • 4 ” wooden rings (I found mine on Amazon)
  • Yarn needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors

Crochet Abbreviations:

  • Ch- Chain
  • Sc- Single Crochet
  • St(s)- Stitch(es)
  • Sl st- Slip Stitch
  • FO- Fasten Off
  • Dc- Double Crochet
  • Tr- Treble Crochet

Towel Holder

1. Sc 21 stitches around the wooden ring. Ch 1 and turn.

2. Sc in first stitch, *skip 2 sc, [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc] in next sc, skip 2 sc, 1 sc in next st, ch 3, 1 sc in next st**.

Repeat from * to ** one more time, then: skip 2 sc, [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc] in next st, skip 2 sc, sc in last stitch, turn

3. Ch 7 (this will count as a tr and 3 ch), *[1sc, ch 3, 1 sc] in middle dc of shell (this is one picot stitch), ch 3, 1 dc in next ch 3 arch, ch 3**.

Repeat from * to ** once more, then: [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc] (picot) in middle dc of next shell, ch 3, skip next dc, tr in last stitch, turn

4. Ch 1, 1 sc in tr, *skip next ch 3 space, [1dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc] in center of next picot stitch, skip next ch 3 space, [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc] (picot) in next dc**

Basically, we are now going to repeat Row 3 and 4 until we reach the desired length. This stitch seems more confusing than it is, I promise! Once you grasp these two steps, you will master this stitch in no time.

5. Repeat Row 3

6. Repeat Row 4

7. Repeat Row 3

8. Repeat Row 4

You can make the length as long or as short as you like. If you’d like to make your towel holder longer, continue alternating repeat rows of 3 and 4 until you reach the desired length. Be sure to end on a “Row 4” repeat to keep the finished folded length even.

Finishing Up:

Now, we just need to sew the other end of our crochet towel holder to the second wooden ring!

  • Cut a length of yarn that is at least 30 inches in length and pull the last stitch of the last round through to secure.
  • With a yarn needle, wrap the yarn around the wooden ring, and pass it through each stitch along the last row. Keep the stitches around the ring tidy and pulled tightly as you work.
  • Weave in all loose ends

And there we have it! A super simple, super customizable and versatile crochet towel holder! Wrap it around your fridge handle, your oven, a towel rack, or whatever!

I love the lacy, cottage look of the open shell and picot stitch, and I love the touch it brings to my kitchen. I’ll definitely be making some of these as gifts as well!

This post is for a crochet toilet paper cover.

Rustic Crochet Toilet Paper Cover: Free Pattern!

Supplies You Will Need:

  • Crochet hook: 5 mm
  • Worsted weight yarn in any color(s) you choose
  • Yarn needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors
  • Twine
  • Fabric glue (optional)

Crochet Abbreviations:

  • MR- Magic Ring
  • Inc- Increase
  • Dec- Decrease
  • Ch- Chain
  • Sc- Single Crochet
  • St(s)- Stitch(es)
  • Sl st- Slip Stitch
  • FO- Fasten Off
  • BLO- Back Loop Only
  • HDC- Half Double Crochet
***The entire pattern is worked in HDC stitches.***

Crochet Toilet Paper Cover:

  1. MR hdc 8                                                                                                       (8)
  2. Inc hdc x 8                                                                                                    (16)
  3. 1 hdc, 1 inc x 8                                                                                              (24)
  4. 2 hdc, 1 inc x 8                                                                                             (32)
  5. 3 hdc, 1 inc x 8                                                                                             (40)
  6. 4 hdc, 1 inc x 8                                                                                             (48)
  7. 5 hdc, 1 inc x 8                                                                                             (56)
  8. 6 hdc, 1 inc x 8                                                                                             (64)
* Please Note*

This pattern was designed using a double roll size of toilet paper. For smaller or bigger rolls, your pattern may be a little bit different. Basically, keep increasing your magic ring until the circle fits to the edges of the toilet paper roll when placed on top of the roll.

Then, proceed to Round 9 below:

9. BLO hdc around                                                                                                 (64)

10- 16. Hdc around                                                                                                 (64)

You can make this section as long or as short as you need for your toilet paper roll. Once your rows reach the bottom of the toilet paper roll, you can fasten off and weave in the ends.

Finishing Up:

  • Place the toilet paper cover over the toilet roll. Measure a length of twine that is long enough to wrap around the toilet roll twice (or more if you want longer tails).
  • Cut as many strands as you want to create a thick, farmhouse style bow. I cut three separate strands.
  • Now, using all strands at the same time, wrap around the toilet paper cover and tie into a bow. It takes some fiddling to get the bow exactly how you want it.
  • When you are happy with the bow and placement, you can secure the bow to the toilet paper cover by placing a dab of fabric glue on the knot of the bow and gluing it in place.
