What a beautiful pink lace toilet paper cover. The cover is quick and fun to crochet as you hold two strands of worsted weight yarn. It is 10″ long and 5.5″ wide across the bottom. The basket is 4.25″ tall and will accommodate 2 double or triple rolls of toilet paper. Wait…there are two coordinating baskets. They will be the perfect accompaniment to your toilet paper basket. Two sizes are available. A large square basket and a small square basket.

Do you love making toilet paper covers and crocheted baskets as much as I do? Many baskets and covers have been made by me over the years. My favorite is the Victorian Lace basket and all of the accessories that go with it. Then again I am pretty happy with the plaid toilet paper cover. Actually my all time favorite is the Santa Toilet paper cover, and I made an Elf toilet paper cover to go along with it!

Pictorial Instruction for High Back Post Half Double Crochet – h bp hdc
This is not the standard way of executing a BP HDC, but is how to execute for this basket…so I am calling it a High Back Post Half Double Crochet.
Use “L” Hook
Hold two strands of Pink yarn, ch 15 (foundation ch made)
Beginning Chains do not count as stitch unless otherwise noted.
Round 1:
hdc in 2nd ch from hook; (hdc in nxt st) 12x; 3 hdc in last st; going down opposite side of foundation ch; (hdc in nxt st) 12x; 2 hdc in last st; join w/slp st in 1st hdc made (30 hdc)
Round 2:
ch 1; 2 hdc in joining st; 2 hdc in nxt st; (hdc in nxt st) 11x; (2 hdc in nxt st) 4x; (hdc in nxt st) 11x; (2 hdc in nxt st) 2x; join w/SLP ST in 1st HDC made (38 hdc)
Round 3:
ch 1; 2 hdc in joining st; (2 hdc in nxt st) 2x; (hdc in nxt st] 14x; (2 hdc in nxt st) 5x; (hdc in nxt st) 14x; (2 hdc in nxt st) 2x; join w/slp st in 1st hdc made (48 hdc)
Round 4:
ch 1; hdc in joining st; 2 hdc in nxt st; (hdc in nxt st; 2 hdc in nxt st) 2x; (hdc in nxt st) 15x; (2 hdc in nxt st; hdc in nxt st) 5x; (hdc in nxt st) 14x; 2 hdc in nxt st; hdc in nxt st; 2 hdc in last st; join w/slp st in 1st hdc made (58 hdc)
Round 5:
ch 1; h bp hdc; in each st around; join w/slp st to beg. h bp hdc (58 h bp hdc)
Use “K” hook
(Hold the basket so that the outside of the basket is facing you until it is time to turn and execute the drop over lace. You should be looking at the ridge that was created at Round 5.
Round 6 -11:
ch 1 hdc in each st around; join w/slp st to beg. hdc ending off with pink and pulling up white at the join at the end of Round 12 (58 hdc)
Round 12:
ch 1,hdc in joining st and in each st around; join w/slp st to beg. hdc; end off with one strand of yarn and turn.
Drop Over Lace Edge
(Please use “G” hook for next step)
Using one strand only
Round 1:
ch 1 you should be looking at the inside of the basket, since you turned at the end of Round 12; sc in blo of joining st; ch 3; skp nxt st; * sc in blo of nxt st; ch3; skp nxt st;* Repeat between * * around; join w/st in beginning SC. (30 ch 3 arches)
Round 2:
slp st in 1st ch of ch 3 sp; ch 1; sc in/under ch 3 space; Shell in/under nxt ch 3 sp; *sc in/under nxt ch 3 sp; Shell in/under nxt ch 3 sp; * Repeat between ** around, joining w/slp st to beg. sc (15 fans; 15 SC)
Round 3:
(Note: all SC stitches will be skipped in this next sequence) *slp st to 1st trb of nxt shell; (ch 3, slp st in nxt trb) 3x;* repeat around; join w/slp st to beg slp st, end off. Weave in all ends.
Add two double or triple rolls of toilet paper to the basket. I think it would be pretty with a bit of satin ribbon woven into the beading area. I think this is such a pretty basket. I hope you enjoy!

Awwww…Krissy. I love that you keep coming up with new looks for this basket. Will an Easter version have bunny ears or a bunny face applique on the front?
Thank you Heidi! I am not sure what will happen for Easter…but you have given me a great idea! I do love daffodils…maybe something floral?
Sweetheart lovely.
Thank you Joan! <3 🙂
Simply stunning and gorgeous! So versitile and lots of color possibilities.
Thank you so much Juliana! I do love that changing colors make this set so versatile.
This is so cute. I love the lacy border around the top.
Thank you so much Candy! I love adding drop over lace to my baskets. 🙂
I was just thinking this morning how I could make the santa one into a valentine’s one! Thanks for the pattern.
Oh yes…we are thinking alike, and you are so welcome!
It is BEAUTIFUL!!!…pretty in pink…
Thank you so much Tereasa!
Love it! I have larger one, would love this one!
Hey Betty! Thank you so much! It’s always good to hear from you!
I just finished the Santa ones (yes, I’m a little late) and can’t wait to make this one. Thanks
Hey Tina! You are so welcome! I would love to see photos of your Santa tp covers! It’s not really too late, they will be great sellers at craft shows. Do you sell your product?
Beautiful and stylish! You have such wonderful patterns and designs.
Hey there Wendy! It’s always good to hear from you, and thank you so much!
This is just too adorable! The color combinations are endless!
Thank you so much! Yes the colors…so many different ways to design this set! Add a little satin ribbon to trim, or get rustic and trim with burlap and twine…and buttons…wooden buttons. The possibilities are endless. Sorry to ramble on, it doesn’t take much to get me excited about designing. 🙂
I love those ideas too! I’m thinking of trying to add beads to the contrasting trim to match the main color.
GREAT IDEA!!! I need to seriously consider incorporating that into some of my designs! Thank you for the inspiration!
Looks good! need to get some pink in the stash!!
Thank you! I do love pink…but this would be beautiful in neutral tones too.
I’d love the pattern! It’s so pretty!!
Thank you Eliza!
Love the lace detail on this basket
Thank you Nancy…I had to finigle with this lace a little bit, my first go round it was toooo poofy…so I had to elmiminate some stitches, and that did the trick.
I totally agree with you on the ribbon! This basket is the perfect size – I think I may make one for my mom, too. Thanks for your clear instructions!
I am sure your mom will love it, and you are so welcome! <3
How do I make a trb in the shell
Hi there, are you asking how to make a Shell for this pattern? If so, follow this instruction. Shell = trb (ch1, trb) 3x in/under ch 3 space
If you are wanting to know how to make a treble st, you wrap the yarn around your hook twice, insert hook into the space indicated, and pull up a loop; (yarn over, pull through two loops on the hook) execute what is in the parenthesis 3 times.
Also there are many videos on youtube that will show you how to make a trb st.
I hope I have helped?
Kristina
