Beginners Pocket Tissue Holder Crochet Pattern

The Beginners Pocket Tissue Holder is a great, easy and quick Christmas gift, stocking stuffer or birthday present. A friend sews cloth tissue holders and I have one in my project bag so I can find a tissue easily amongst my yarn balls. Her gift inspired me to create a crochet pattern, and I’ll probably carry this one in my purse so I don’t have loose tissues at the bottom of my handbag.

This project is crocheted with single and half double crochet stitches — simple and fast!

Worsted weight yarn #4 (approx.45 yards)

H / 5.00 mm hook and G / 4.00 hook

Tapestry needle

Gauge:  10 hdc = 3”   8 rows = 3”

Finished size:   approx. 3.5” x 6”

Abbreviations:  (US terms)

ch – chain

sc – single crochet

hdc – half double crochet

st – stitch(es)
