Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in bright green, purple, and orange
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Base

1. Start with a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
4. Round 3: *Work 1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern around (18 stitches total).
5. Continue increasing in this manner until the base measures the same as the bottom of your tissue box. Make sure to measure frequently for accuracy.

2. Work on the Sides

1. After completing the base, work even in single crochet (sc) around without increasing.
2. Continue crocheting until the piece measures the height of your tissue box. This will create the sides of your monster cover.

3. Create the Top Opening

1. Switch to working in rows. Row 1: Work sc across the front of the piece, chain 1 (ch 1), and turn your work.
2. Row 2: Work sc across again, ch 1, and turn.
3. Repeat this process until the piece covers the top of the box, leaving an opening for tissues to come out. Ensure the opening is large enough for easy access.

4. Add Features

1. Using purple yarn, crochet two small circles for the eyes. Attach them securely to the front of the cover.
2. With orange yarn, crochet small triangles to serve as horns. Attach these to the top of the cover, positioning them to add to the monster's playful look.
3. Finally, use black yarn to embroider a cheerful smile on your monster's face. This will give it a friendly and inviting appearance.
