I’ve seem some really cute travel tissue covers for those mini packs of tissues. All of the patterns have been for sewing, though, so I wanted to try adapting it to crochet. And I’m pleased with the finished result! These travel tissue packs are useful for carrying in a purse or backpack, especially for those of us who have springtime allergies (those pretty flowers are worth it though). This was a quick and easy project that offers lots of opportunities for customization.

Skill Level:

Finished Size: fits travel tissues measuring approximately 4.25″ (10.7 cm) long, 2.25″ (5.7 cm) wide, and 1″ (3 cm) deep. This size is fairly standard for small packs of tissues.

Materials: Medium Weight Yarn (approximately 50 yards) – I chose to use two colors. Crochet Hook G (4.00 mm)

Gauge:
9 sc = 2″
10 rows = 2″
Gauge Swatch: 2″w x 2″h (5 cm x 5 cm) ch 10.
Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across: 9 sc
Row 2 – 10: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across: 9
Finish off.

Crochet Pattern: Travel Tissue Cozy
Note: This pattern is worked in a combination of rounds and rows. I chose to work Row 23 and 24 in a contrasting color, but you can use any color sequence you like.
Row 1: ch 21, sc in second ch from hook and in each ch: 20 sc
Row 2-12: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across: 20 sc
Round 13: ch 1, turn, sc in next 20 sc, turn to work across row ends, sc in end of each row for 12 sc, turn to work across starting chain, sc 20 across, turn to work across last edge, sc in end of each row for 12 sc, sl st to first sc: 64 sc
Round 14-18: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc around: 64 sc
We will now be working in rows again to form the flaps on the top, which are joined to Round 18 as you go. Your cozy should look like Fig. A in the following picture.

First Flap
Row 19: sl st into next st on Round 18, turn, sc in next 20 sc, leave rest of round unworked: 20 sc
Row 20: sl st in next 2 sts on Round 18, turn, sc in next 20 sc from last row: 20 sc
Row 21-24: Repeat Row 20. At end of last row, sl st to next sc on Round 18 and finish off.

Second Flap
Now we’ll repeat these last 6 rows on the other side to make the second flap.
Row 20: Skip 5 stitches on Row 18. Join to 6th stitch with a slip stitch. (This should be at the opposite corner where you started the other flap – see Fig. B.) Sc in next 20 sc from Round 18, leave rest of round unworked: 20 sc
Row 21: sl st in next 2 sts on Round 18, turn, sc in 20 sts from last row: 20 sc
Row 22-24: Repeat Row 21. At end of last row, sl st to next sc on Round 18 and finish off.
Weave in ends. Sew closed any gaps in the corners between the two flaps. Slide in a travel tissue pack and you’re ready to go.
