Looking for a pretty and practical way to hide a standard tissue box?
This soft cream crochet tissue box holder is designed to hang neatly on a wall or door hook. Featuring an open lace granny-square pattern, raised flower motifs and a convenient hanging loop, it keeps tissues easily accessible while adding a delicate handmade touch to any room.
Description
This rectangular tissue box cover is crocheted in a combination of classic granny-square motifs and open lace stitches that create a light, airy fabric in soft cream or natural cotton. The front panel includes a carefully shaped oval opening that allows tissues to be pulled out smoothly, while the sides and back are worked in matching lace patterns for a cohesive look.
Three-dimensional crochet flowers are sewn onto the top edge and sides, giving the cover a charming, decorative finish. A sturdy double hanging loop at the top slips easily over a wooden peg, wall hook or doorknob, making it perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms, nurseries or guest rooms. Soft yet structured enough to hold its shape around a standard tissue box, this cover turns an everyday item into an elegant handmade accent.

Pattern Notes
- The cover is constructed from granny-square style panels or worked in sections that are joined to form a rectangular box shape.
- An oval or rectangular opening is created on the front panel for tissue access.
- The three-dimensional flowers are crocheted separately and sewn onto the finished cover.
- The hanging loop is made as a strong double or triple chain and attached securely at the top.
- A consistent tension helps the cover keep a neat rectangular shape and sit smoothly over the tissue box.
- Cotton yarn is ideal because it is durable, washable and holds its structure well in a bathroom or bedroom setting.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Crochet the front, back and side panels using granny-square or lace stitch patterns.
- Create the tissue opening on the front panel by leaving a carefully shaped gap or working a reinforced oval.
- Join all panels together to form a rectangular cover that fits snugly over a standard tissue box.
- Make several three-dimensional crochet flowers and sew them onto the top and sides.
- Create a sturdy hanging loop and attach it firmly at the centre of the top edge.
- Weave in all yarn ends carefully on the inside. Gently shape the finished cover so it sits neatly and the flowers lie flat.
