New design - Toilet Paper Cover

I couldn't find very many "Toilet Paper Covers" on-line for free, esp ones that are basic and can be adapted to fit any color scheme or Holiday time of year so I made one up myself! I made this one for Christmas but you can do it really in any color combination and it's easy enough to whip up in an afternoon.

If you'd like to make this, feel free to use my pattern! It has not been tested yet so please let me know if you find any errors!

This was made to fit a double roll of charmin toilet paper. To make it smaller, use a smaller hook and/or smaller yarn.
