Crochet Pattern: Fairy Tissues

Tissues are something everyone can use and little tissue covers have been a personal favorite to make for gifts. I have designed a few fun ones, with more to come I am sure. When I designed my “Fairy G Pillow and Bag” I thought it would be fun to make a little version to match.

The pattern for this cutie is available to follow along on this post for free. You can get an ad-free downloadable pattern for just $1 as part of a fun blog event…. scroll down for more info on how you can get 15 patterns for just $1.
