The Pattern Itself
Lid (Top Panel with Tassels)
Step 1: Lid Center
- With Color A (e.g., coral), make a magic ring.
- Ch 2 (counts as first dc).
- Work 21 dc into ring (total 22 dc including ch 2).
- Sl st to first dc to join. Leave the central hole open enough for pulling paper through.
If you don’t read patterns: Make a loop, chain 2, crochet 21 double crochets into the center, and join the ends. Don't pull the loop tight; leave a hole in the middle.
Step 2: Puff Stitch Round
- With Color B (beige), attach yarn to any dc.
- Ch 2.
- Into same st:
- Yo, insert hook, pull up loop (1 loop).
- Yo, insert hook, pull up loop (2 loops).
- Yo, pull through all 5 loops.
- Ch 1.
- Rep puff st (2 loops), ch 1 in each dc around (22 puffs).
- Sl st to top of first puff st to join.
Go all the way around making puff stitches with a chain in between. Join at end. The lid is now textured and decorative.
Step 3: Double Crochet Round
- Ch 2.
- [Dc in top of puff st, dc in ch-1 space] around (45 dc).
- Sl st to first dc to join. Fasten off.
Switching colors, make double crochets in each puff and between them for a solid round.
Step 4: Side Walls/Brim
- With Color C (sage green), attach yarn to any dc BLO from previous round.
- Ch 2.
- Dc in BLO of each st around (45 dc).
- Sl st to join.
This round is only in the back loop, which creates a ridge and rounded edge for the lid.
Step 5: Continue Side Rows
- Work 3 more rounds of dc in both loops (normal)—always ch 2 to start, sl st to join.
- Final round: sc in each st around for edging. Sl st to join, fasten off, weave in ends.
Build 3 more rows to form the lid’s lower edge, then trim with a round of single crochet. Secure all ends inside.
Base
Step 1: Base Center
- With Color C (sage green), make a magic ring.
- Ch 2, work 13 dc into ring (14 dc including ch 2).
- Pull tight to close center. Sl st to first dc to join.
Make a solid circle for the base, pulling the ring tight (unlike the lid).
Step 2: Increase Rounds
- Ch 2, 2 dc in each st around (28 dc). Sl st to join.
Work two double crochets in every stitch around to expand the base.
- Ch 2, [dc in next st, 2 dc in next st] around. End with 42 dc.
Alternate between 1 and 2 double crochets in each stitch for the next round.
Step 3: Single Crochet Round
- Ch 1, sc in each st around (42 sc). Sl st to join.
Single crochets help create a firm edge before building sides.
Step 4: Build Sides
- Ch 2, work dc in BLO and “third loop” for this round (for extra firmness).
- Sl st to join.
- Work 8 more rounds of dc in both loops, always ch 2 to start, sl st to join. (Total 9 dc rounds for sides).
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
Start the first side round in back and third loop for structure, then continue with normal double crochets to build depth. Adjust height as needed.
Tassels
- Choose your tassel colors. Cut double-stranded yarn to desired length (approx. 3–4” after folding).
- Make around 15 tassels.
- Attach in the third round from the lid’s bottom edge, spaced every 2 dc.
- Insert hook under target dc.
- Pull folded yarn through, making a loop.
- Pull ends through loop and tighten.
- Trim tassels to even length as desired.
Make tassels from two colors, alternating along the lower edge of lid. Trim for even, neat appearance.
Assembly & Finishing
- Remove cardboard core from toilet roll. Place roll inside base.
- Feed tissue up through center hole in lid, then fit lid over base.
- Trim tassels as needed while lid is on holder to ensure even edges.
- Weave in any remaining ends securely with yarn needle.
