Crocheted Pumpkin Toilet paper cozy- 'cause your TP has to be dressed for the Fall ya' know

Are you sick of TP cozies yet? Well, not me I am on a roll, a roll of TP cozies that is! I know that was bad.

How to crochet a pumpkin toilet paper cozy:

Yarn:

I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in what else-Pumpkin #133

and a Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in dark green- the label wasn't with the yarn so I am not sure of the exact #

Hook:

N or 9mm

More or less the basic "recipe" It can vary based on how tight you crochet and how big your TP is.

I chained about 17-20

Turned chained 4

then treble or triple crochet in every chain starting from the 5th chain from the hook.

(Click on this page from Knit or Crochet - Have it Your Way to see how to treble or triple crochet)

then again chained 4, turned and triple crochet back in each triple crochet

then chain 1, turn and decrease every 2 stitches back. This makes the "indents"

Then chain 4, turn and triple crochet back using either the row of treble crochets as your base (this will keep you at about 17-20 stitches or if you use the decrease row make 2 triple crochets in each decrease to get back up to the 17-20 stitches.

Then just keep repeating this until you have enough to go around your TP.

Seam up the sides together and gather the top.

To make the stem chain 10 or so, turn and do a single crochet in each chain, this will make a cute curly-cue. Stitch it to the top of the pumpkin cozy.

Knitters who don’t know how to crochet often see crochet patterns and wish there was a way to convert them. The same is true for crocheters who don’t know how to knit. Those who know how to do both like to choose one over the other for the inherent “look” that each offers. This book gives them the option, as instructions for each project are given in both knit and crochet.
