How to make a crocheted pencil holder from rolled toilet paper?

Creating a crocheted pencil holder from rolled toilet paper is a creative and eco-friendly way to repurpose materials. Here’s a simple pattern to get you started:

Materials:

Rolled empty toilet paper tube
Worsted weight yarn in your preferred color
Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn
Yarn needle
Scissors

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Toilet Paper Tube

Flatten the toilet paper tube slightly by pressing it down with your hands.
Cut the tube to your desired height. This will be the height of your pencil holder.

Step 2: Crochet the Cover

Start with a slipknot and chain enough stitches to cover the circumference of the flattened tube. The number of stitches may vary depending on the size of your tube.
Join the chain into a ring with a slip stitch, being careful not to twist the chain.
Single crochet in each chain around. Continue single crocheting in a continuous spiral without joining rounds.
Continue working in the spiral until the crochet piece is tall enough to cover the entire height of the tube. You can adjust the number of stitches based on the size of your tube.
Slip stitch in the next stitch and fasten off.

Step 3: Attach the Crochet Cover to the Tube

Slide the crocheted cover onto the toilet paper tube.
Optional: If you want a snugger fit or more stability, you can apply a small amount of glue to the tube before sliding the crochet piece on. This is especially useful if you plan to remove and reuse the cover.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
Optional: Add embellishments such as buttons, beads, or a small crocheted appliqué to personalize your pencil holder.

Now, you have a cute and functional crocheted pencil holder made from a recycled toilet paper tube. This project is not only practical but also a great way to reduce waste and add a touch of handmade charm to your desk or workspace.
