🧻 Amigurumi Toilet Paper Buddy Crochet Pattern

Bring a touch of whimsy into your bathroom with this adorable Toilet Paper Buddy! This fun amigurumi project features arms that hug the roll, long dangly legs, and oversized feet that dangle cutely from a shelf. The toilet paper roll itself becomes the “body,” making this project quick and clever.

✨ Skill Level: Beginner to Easy Intermediate

This project is suitable for confident beginners:

Beginner-friendly stitches: single crochet, increases, decreases, and working in rounds.
Slight shaping: used for feet (ankle tie effect) and arms.
Optional wire support: inserting craft wire into the arms for stability requires a little care, leaning toward early intermediate.

👉 If you’ve made a few amigurumi before, this pattern will feel easy and fun. If it’s your very first amigurumi, it’s still achievable with patience.

🧵 Assembly

Attach legs to the base disk so they hang forward.
Attach feet to legs, ensuring the ankle tie is defined.
Attach arms to sides of the base, angled forward. Insert wire and curve them so they hug the toilet roll snugly.
Attach hands to arms.
Place the toilet roll directly on the base—your buddy is complete!

🌟 Extra Tips

For sturdier arms, wrap the wire ends with tape before inserting to avoid poking through yarn.
To make the base non-slip, glue felt or add rubber dots underneath.
Use heavier yarn or T-shirt yarn for a chunkier buddy.

🎉 Final Thoughts

This Toilet Paper Buddy is the perfect mix of functional and funny. With its dangling legs and hugging arms, it will bring smiles every time someone walks into your bathroom. And the best part? The roll itself becomes the body, so it’s a quick and clever project with maximum effect!
