Tissues For My Gnomies – Double Tissue Holder

I love making tissue holders for gifts. They are something everyone can use and they are quick to whip up. They make wonderful stocking stuffers and are a unique item for craft fairs too.

This little guy is extra handy because he will hold two little tissue packs (because one little back is just not enough). His hat will button around the strap of your bag or hang from something so he can always be handy.

Tissues for my gnomies – Double Tissue Holder

This pattern is available to view here on my blog for free below.

Materials

  • Worsted Weight Yarn: 150-175 yards 
  • Crochet Hook: H (5mm)
  • Notions: Yarn needle, ½” button, straight pins for holding pieces during assembly.
  • Optional: Measuring tape, scissors, ¾ button, 2 small packs of tissues

Measurements

  • Finished Measurements: 10.5” high x 5.5” across
  • Gauge: not needed for this project.

Tips – Please read before you begin the project.

  • First stitch of each row is worked into the same  stitch as the turning chain.
  • Numbers at the beginning of each line may refer to steps and not indicate number of rows.
  • Stitch count remains the same unless noted at end of row/round.

If you have any questions about this pattern please contact [email protected].

Directions

Color changes: for stripes, work 2 rows per color. You can carry the unused yarn up the side of the piece. This will be covered at the end.
