Tissue Box Covers

[nevadamama]

Just completed these tissue box covers for the guys on my Chirstmas list. I didn't have a pattern but I'm pleased with how they turned out. One is for a Cubs fan and the other is for a guy who like's Tony Stewart from NASCAR. I printed the #20 on my computer and glued a black crochet chain around it. The baseball one has a baseball, on the side, that I also printed out.

What wonderful ideas!! My son has been asking for something for his favorite driver... I might have to give it a whirl~~

Those are so nice. I have a neice that loves tinker bell and she's been asking for a tissue box. Her favorite colors are pink and purple I might have to give it a try if I have time before Christmas.

Awesome ~ they are great.

What a wonderful idea!!! I always thought they were for plastic canvas stitching - I never even thought to crochet one. Wow that would be much easier for me that's for sure!

Your work is awesome - very very nice!

Could you share your pattern or pattern source? And do you use a certain stitch???

These are adorable! I'm working on one right now that's worked in one piece from the book Needles to Hook that just looks like a turtleneck sweater, but I like your creativity!

DH would love the Tony Stewart one, his whole decor of his room is in Tony's stuff.

I was wondering if it could be made in one piece but I haven't been able to figure it out. I make the sides in one piece or four depending on the design. I did these in sc with an I hook but I've seen others done in dc.

I don't have a pattern source, sorry. I just measured the tissue box and sc crocheted to that size. I found making the sides in one piece (with just one side to sew) is easier & faster than making fours sides and sewing or crocheting them all together. For the top, I once again measured and left a hole for the Kleenex to come through. It was then sewn or crocheted to the top of the sides. I've seen others done in dc instead of sc. Hope I helped you some.

Well you've officially got an idea that is on my future WIP list for the new year - those are great and sc sounds like a good st to use for them! On your orange one did you just sc in white on all the sides for "accenting"?

Thanks for sharing!

The sides and top are joined with white sc. Yes, I choose white for an accent instead of using the orange.
