Materials Needed

To make this tissue box cover, you will need the following materials:

• I Love This Yarn in a metallic color (such as Jelly Bean)
• A 4mm crochet hook
• Yellow yarn for the star or angel (optional)
• Pom-poms or other decorations for the tree

Making the Chain

To begin, make a chain of 15 stitches using the metallic yarn. Connect the first and last stitch together to form a circle. It's recommended to use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds as you work in continuous rounds.

Rounds 1-2: Single Crochet Stitches

In the first two rounds, you will place one single crochet stitch in each stitch of the chain. This will give you a total of 15 stitches for the first round. Place your stitch marker between the last and first stitch to mark the end of the round.

Rounds 3-4: Front and Back Loop Stitches

In round 3, you will begin to split up your rounds into front and back loops. In the front loop, you will place one single crochet stitch in the first stitch, then skip one stitch and make seven double crochet stitches in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern all the way around.

In round 4, you will work in the back loop only, placing one single crochet stitch in each stitch. This round will consist of only single crochet stitches.

Increasing Rounds

After completing the first four rounds, you will start the repeating pattern of increasing rounds. This pattern involves three rounds that you will repeat over and over again.

In the increasing round, you will place an additional single crochet stitch in one of the stitches to create an increase. The following round will consist of single crochet stitches only. Then, you will repeat the front and back loop stitches pattern in the next two rounds.

It's important to note that each increasing round may have a different pattern depending on the number of stitches in the round. The idea is to create a tree shape with branches represented by the shell stitches.

Adding the Star or Angel

At the top of the tree, you can add a star or angel decoration. You can sew or glue it onto the cover, depending on your preference. This will give your tree a festive and personalized touch.

Decorating the Tree

Once you have completed the cover, you can decorate the tree with pom-poms or other decorations of your choice. Get creative and make your tree unique and festive!

Putting Tissues in the Box

Finally, don't forget to put tissues in the box so that they come out of the top like a flare around the star or angel. This will not only add to the decoration but also make the tissue box functional.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making a cute tissue box cover for your Christmas tree is a fun and easy craft project that will add a festive touch to your holiday decorations. With just a few materials and simple crochet stitches, you can create a unique and personalized decoration that will impress your friends and family.
