Crochet Toilet Paper Holder Pattern | DIY Scalloped Wall Organizer with Flower Applique-Welcome to our latest masterclass! Today we are learning how to create this beautiful piece.

Materials Needed

• Worsted weight yarn in green (main color)
• Worsted weight yarn in beige/cream (for flower)
• Crochet hook (e.g., 4.0mm or size appropriate for yarn)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle/Tapestry needle

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Crochet the main rectangular body of the holder using green yarn. Start with a foundation chain and work in rows of single crochet or half double crochet until you have a rectangular piece large enough to wrap around a toilet paper roll, plus extra for the flap.

Step 2

Add a decorative scalloped border to the top and bottom edges of the crocheted rectangle using the same green yarn. This can be achieved with shell stitches or similar stitch patterns for a ruffled effect.

Step 3

Create a hanging loop. Chain a desired length (e.g., 20-30 chains) and then slip stitch or single crochet back down the chain to form a sturdy loop. Attach this loop securely to the center of one of the scalloped edges of the main piece.

Step 4

Fold the main rectangular piece to form the pocket. Bring the lower scalloped edge up towards the top portion of the main body, creating a pouch where the toilet paper roll will sit. Stitch the side seams together using a yarn needle or slip stitches to secure the pocket, leaving the front opening.

Step 5

Crochet a small flower applique using beige/cream yarn. A common method is to start with a magic ring, then work several petals (e.g., chain 2, 3 double crochet, chain 2, slip stitch) around the ring.

Step 6

Attach the crocheted flower to the front center of the toilet paper holder using a yarn needle to sew it securely in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of yarn is best for this project?
A: Worsted weight cotton yarn is highly recommended for its durability, absorbency, and ability to hold its shape well, making it perfect for bathroom accessories. Acrylic yarn can also be used for a wider range of colors and softness.

Q: Can I adjust the size of the holder for different toilet paper roll sizes?
A: Yes, you can easily adjust the size. For width, change the number of stitches in your starting chain. For depth, add or remove rows in the main rectangular piece. Always measure against your preferred toilet paper roll for a perfect fit.

Q: How do I wash this crocheted toilet paper holder?
A: If made with cotton yarn, it’s generally machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water and laid flat to dry to maintain its shape and prevent stretching. For acrylic yarn, follow the yarn label’s care instructions, usually machine wash and dry on low.
