🔤 Abbreviations (US Terms)

- sc = single crochet
- inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch)
- dec = decrease (sc2tog)

- BLO = back loop only

🧵 Pattern Instructions
1. Body (Green)
- MR, 6 sc into ring (6)
- inc around (12)
- (sc, inc) ×6 (18)
- (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24)
- (3 sc, inc) ×6 (30)
- Continue increasing evenly until you reach 72 sts around.
- Work 20–24 rounds even for height.
💡 Important: Leave a wide opening in the front for the mouth holder. Crochet up to where the mouth will be placed, then create a large oval hole by chaining across (about 25 ch) and skipping the same number of stitches. Continue in the round. This creates the “hole” where the roll will sit.
2. Firm Mouth Opening (Purple Border)
- Attach purple yarn to the oval hole you made.
- Work sc around the edge of the hole evenly.
- Repeat for 4–5 rounds to create a thick border.
Firmness trick:
- Cut plastic canvas or sturdy cardboard into an oval slightly larger than the opening.
- Insert it between the layers of crochet (border + lining).
- This reinforcement ensures the mouth stays wide and firm to hold toilet paper securely.
3. Mouth Lining (Black)
- Join black yarn inside the mouth opening.
- Crochet a flat oval panel slightly larger than the hole.
- Sew it to the inside of the border for a deep mouth effect.
4. Teeth (White)
- Ch 5, work back with sc and shaping into small cones.
- Make 8–10 teeth and sew evenly along the purple border.
