Crochet Toilet Paper Holder for Christmas – Written Instructions

With red colored yarn and a H/8 (5.00 mm) hook, make a magic ring/circle. (Wondering how to make a magic ring/circle? Here’s a tutorial from Spruce Crafts).

You can leave red yarn hanging as long as it’s in the inside of your work (along the wrong side) and pick it back up again after the belt. Do not ch. With black yarn, hdc in 1st st and in each st around. (70 sts). Sl st into top of 1st hdc to join.

Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.

Belt Buckle

With golden yellow colored yarn, ch 22.

The rest of the belt buckle is worked in a continuous row.

1st Rectangle Side (short): In 2nd ch from hook, sc into back ridge loop. (Interweave has a great diagram of where the back ridge loop is here). In next 2 chains, sc into back ridge loop. In next ch, sc x 3 into same back ridge loop.

2nd Rectangle Side (long): sc into next 6 back ridge loops. In next ch, sc x 3 into same back ridge loop.

3rd Rectangle Side (short): sc into next 3 back ridge loops. In next ch, sc x 3 into same back ridge loop.

4th Rectangle Side (long): sc into next 6 back ridge loops. sl st into 1st sc to join.

Fasten off leaving a 24″ tail. Using a yarn needle, weave in the first end to belt buckle. Still with your yarn needle, attach the belt buckle to the front and center of the Christmas Toilet Paper Holder with the rounds of black in the middle. I recommend weaving along the outside of the belt buckle (underneath the outside stitches) all the way around and then weave along inside of the belt buckle (underneath the inside stitches).
