Instructions

Measure Your Box First:
-
Standard tissue box: approx. 24 cm (L) × 12 cm (W) × 8 cm (H)
-
Adjust stitch and row counts if your box is larger/smaller.
-
-
Top Panel:
-
Ch 31
-
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch and across (30 sts)
-
Row 2–24: Ch 1, turn, sc across (until length = ~24 cm)
-
On last row, mark center 10 stitches — skip these for the tissue opening.
-
Work 2 more rows on each side of the hole separately.
-
Then reconnect yarn across entire row and sc 1 more row to finish top.
-
-
Side Panels (worked around):
-
Rotate piece, sc evenly along all 4 sides (approx. 30 per long edge, 10 per short edge).
-
Work 6–7 rounds in sc to form side walls (match height of box).
-
Optional: Switch to hdc for faster height.
-
-
Bottom Closure (optional):
-
You can leave the bottom open or crochet button flaps/ties to hold it in place.

How To
-
Cotton Yarn = Structure:
It holds its shape better than soft acrylic and is washable. -
Tension Tip:
Keep tension snug so the cover hugs the box without being too tight. -
Color Ideas:
Use neutral tones for a minimalist look or color stripes to match your décor. -
Custom Size:
Just measure your box and adjust chains/stitches accordingly — super flexible. -
Fast Finish:
Single crochet keeps it simple, and the square shape makes seaming easy.
