Toilet Paper Cover
I originally designed this little toilet paper cover after my mom asked me to make one for her for Christmas. I originally came up with the “simple" ending, but hubby thought I needed to jazz it up, and thus the “frilly" version was made. I am including both endings for you to choose from. The simple version uses only one ounce of yarn & the frilly version about 1.5 (shown here with frills). Anastaciaknits / anastaciaknits@verizon.net July 2010 Materials: Approximately 1-1.5 oz / 25-50 grams of worsted weight acrylic yarn oSize H crochet hook or size to get gauge OYarnNeedle Gauge: First 8 rounds measure 4.25" across. 2 V stitches measure 1.75" Special Stitches: Beg V St: Ch 4 (counts as 1st dc & ch 1 sp), dc in same sp V St: Dc, ch 1, dc in sp specified. Pattern: Work in continuous rounds until otherwise stated. Do not turn. Rnd 1: Starting at top of cover, ch 2. Mark beginning of round (move marker as you begin each round), 6 sc into $1^{\mathrm{st}}$ chspace. Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around: 12 sc. Rnd 3: 3: 2 sc in $1^{\mathrm{\,st}}$ sC, 1 sc in next sc, rep around: 18 sc. Rnd 4. 2 sc in $1^{\mathrm{\,st}}$ sC, 1 sc in next 2 sc, rep around: 24 sc. Rnd 5. 2 sc in $1^{\mathrm{\,st}}$ sc, 1 sc in next 3 sc, rep around: 30 sc. Rnd 6. 2 sc in 1st sc, 1 sc in next 4 sc, rep around: 36 sc. Rnd 7. 2 sc in 1st sc, 1 sc in next 5 sc, rep around: 42 sc.

Continue from \* around, and join with a sl st in 3rd ch of beg ch 4: 16 V sts made. Rnds 11-15: Sl st into 1st ch 1 sp; work beg V st in first sp & then continue to work V sts in each V st around, and sl st in $3^{\lceil{\mathsf{d}}}$ ch of beg ch-4.

Frilled Edging Rnd 1: Sl st into $1^{\mathrm{st}}$ ch 1 sp.

Sl st final stitch, and finish off. Weave in ends.
