Fun Toilet Roll Holder Crochet Patterns
A crochet toilet roll holder is a small project with a big payoff. It takes an everyday household item and turns it into a decorative feature, and it gives you a place to show off your stitches in a room guests actually visit.
The range of designs is wide, from whimsical amigurumi characters to boho inspired storage that looks like it belongs on a décor shelf.
One of the most popular ideas is a reading buddy character that sits on top of a toilet paper roll and uses the roll itself as the body.
The crocheted arms hold a tiny book, and long dangling legs hang over the front of the toilet tank. It is clever, it is funny, and it gives a plain bathroom instant personality.
Animal themed designs are just as loved. Crochet frog toilet paper holders are a favorite among crafters because they double as a practical paper holder and a cheerful accent. A frog holder can hang on the wall or sit near the toilet, so paper stays within easy reach.
If you want something more versatile, look at sitting character paper holder patterns. These are usually worked with sturdy double strands of yarn for extra structure and durability, which helps them keep their shape over time.
They fit standard toilet paper rolls, but they can also hold small planters, craft supplies, pencils, markers, or other household items. Their seated poses and expressive details make them at home in bathrooms, craft rooms, offices, nurseries, and cozy living spaces.
On the decorative side, boho style crochet toilet paper holders blend beauty and organization. They often feature textured basket style construction, raised diamond stitch details, wooden button accents, tassels, and decorative wooden feet. Those touches complement farmhouse, rustic, modern bohemian, and cottage inspired interiors, and they suit guest bathrooms, vanity tables, shelves, and home organization projects.
Most patterns include detailed instructions, assembly guidance, and helpful tips, so they work for adventurous beginners as well as experienced crocheters.
The designs in this roundup come from a collection of crochet toilet roll holder patterns on Fab Art DIY, and you can browse even more ideas in this wider set of crochet toilet paper holder patterns.

Toilet Paper holder by Punqa
The toilet paper holder by Punqa is one of the most straightforward designs in this roundup. It is a clean, practical cover that keeps a spare roll within easy reach, whether it rests on the tank or sits on a shelf beside the toilet. The pattern comes from the designer Punqa and is available through the designer’s shop listing.
Because the shape follows a standard roll, this is a good project for practicing rounds and even tension without a long time commitment.
A medium weight cotton yarn holds up well in a steamy bathroom, and a firm, even gauge keeps the cover from stretching out of shape. Cream or soft white keeps things calm, while a bright shade suits a bathroom that already leans playful.
It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a housewarming, paired with a couple of fresh rolls and a bar of soap. Check your gauge before you commit, since a cover that fits too loosely will slide around every time the roll is used.
Toilet Roll Holder Crochet Pattern by StitchNexia
The toilet roll holder crochet pattern by StitchNexia follows the same practical idea with a slightly different look. It is a cover style design that hides the roll and keeps paper tidy, and it is available from the designer’s pattern shop.
This kind of pattern is a comfortable fit for a maker who has already worked in the round and wants a quick finish.
Work it in a solid color to let the texture carry the design, or add a contrasting band if you enjoy small color changes. Cotton and cotton blends are popular choices for bathroom pieces because they feel sturdy and wipe clean easily.
Renters especially like this style, since it changes the look of a bathroom without a single nail in the wall. Finish with a neat edge and weave the ends in securely, because a bathroom piece gets handled far more often than a decorative shelf item.
Toilet Paper Roll Holder Pattern by DigitalLoomBoutique
The toilet paper roll holder pattern by DigitalLoomBoutique is a digital pattern, which means you can download it, save it to your device, and print only the pages you need. It is available through the designer’s shop.
Digital patterns like this one are handy for working through a project at your own pace. You can highlight the rows you have finished, jot notes in the margin, and keep the file for the next time you want to make another one in a different color.
This style also works nicely as a scrap yarn project. If you have partial balls of cotton left from other makes, a holder is a good way to use them up while keeping the bathroom looking coordinated.
Make one for yourself and one as a small gift, and note the yarn and hook you used on the pattern so the next version matches.
Toilet Paper Holder Pattern by ArtyVilla
The toilet paper holder pattern by ArtyVilla rounds out the practical side of this collection. It is a crochet cover for a standard roll, and it is available from the designer’s pattern shop.
A holder like this is a quiet piece that earns its place. It keeps the roll from looking like an afterthought, and it lets you match your bathroom to a color scheme you actually like. Think soft sage with white towels, warm mustard against wood, or a deep teal for a bolder room.
The small size means you can finish it in an evening or two, which makes it a satisfying project between bigger makes.
If you enjoy giving handmade gifts, this is the kind of item that suits a new home, a dorm room, or a guest bath refresh. Choose a yarn that holds its shape after washing so the cover still looks crisp months later.
Frog Toilet Paper Holder Pattern by ArtcrocCo
The frog toilet paper holder pattern by ArtcrocCo belongs to the animal themed group, and frogs are a favorite among crafters for good reason. The shape is friendly and funny without being fussy, and the finished holder works as both storage and decoration.
You can hang a frog holder on the wall or set it near the toilet, so paper stays within easy reach. It is a natural fit for a kids bathroom, a family bath, or a laundry room that could use a little personality.
Classic greens are the obvious choice, but a soft pastel or a bold color can look just as charming depending on the room. Take your time with the small pieces and stitch everything down securely, especially if little ones share the space.
The pattern is available from the designer’s shop listing, and it pairs well with other small animal makes if you like a themed room.
Toilet Sitting Funny Paper Holder Pattern by knitteddreamdigital
The toilet sitting funny paper holder pattern by knitteddreamdigital is one of the versatile sitting character designs. These patterns are often worked with sturdy double strands of yarn for extra structure and durability, which helps the finished piece hold its shape.
That sturdiness is what makes a sitting character so useful. It can hold a standard toilet paper roll, and it also works for a small planter, craft supplies, pencils, markers, or other household items you want to keep tidy.
The seated pose and the expressive details give it a personality that suits bathrooms, craft rooms, offices, nurseries, and cozy living spaces.
Choosing a yarn that keeps its body matters here, since a soft, floppy yarn will let the character slump. Make one for the bathroom and a second for your desk. The pattern is available from the designer’s shop listing.
Boho Toilet Paper Holder by Glamluk
The boho toilet paper holder by Glamluk sits at the decorative end of the collection, where beauty and organization meet. Boho style holders like this one often feature textured basket style construction, raised diamond stitch details, wooden button accents, tassels, and decorative wooden feet.
Those details are what make the piece read as décor rather than plain storage. A holder in this style complements farmhouse, rustic, modern bohemian, and cottage inspired interiors, and it suits guest bathrooms, vanity tables, shelves, and home organization projects.
Natural cotton in cream, oatmeal, or sand keeps the look soft, while a wooden button and a simple tassel add warmth without much effort.
If you like amigurumi as much as boho texture, there are plenty of duck crochet pattern ideas and free amigurumi patterns worth a look for your next small project. The pattern is available from the designer’s shop listing.
