With the new Grinch movie out, I decided to make a Grinch Tissue Box Cover. This pattern really does work up fast. I frogged it a couple times and still managed to complete the entire project in one evening.
I used 3 brands of #4 worsted weight yarn — simply because I just grabbed what I had easily assessible to get to. Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice, RHSS, ILTY.
Tissue Covers are quick seasonal projects to complete and affordably use around the house throughout the year. It doesn't take a lot of yarn and you can make some really cute covers.

Happy Crocheting...
