    First, you’ll be making the back panel (face) and then the side and top body. Then you’ll be making the front panel and sewing it to the body. Finally, you’ll be making and sewing the ears, front legs, and tail to the cover and sewing on the face, and adding the eyes.

    Front Panel for Tissue Box Cover

    R1: make a magic ring or ch 2, and add 8 sc

    R2: *1 sc, [1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc] in the next st, repeat from * 3 more times

    R3: *1sc in each st until ch-1 space, in ch-1 space add [1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc], repeat from * 3 more times

    R4-R6: Repeat R3

    Cat Tissue Box Cover, front panel

    Back and Side Panels of Tissue Box Cover

    Ch 20, connect the first with the last ch to make a large loop (with a slip stitch)
    You will now work in continuous rounds, so be sure to use a stitch marker

    R1: *1 sc in the next 4 chs, then [1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc] in the next ch, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R2-3: *1 sc in each st until you reach the corner ch space, [1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc] into the corner chain st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    You should now have 38 sts in total.

    Sew the front panel to the side panels using the mattress stitch (or slip stitch if you prefer). 

    Crochet Cat Ears

    Crochet Cat Legs

    Crochet 2

    R1: magic ring (or ch 2) and add 4 sc 

    R2: 1 sc per st Repeat R2 until each leg is 2.5 inches long Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Sew legs to the front of the face pointing forward. 

    Crochet Cat Tail

    R1: magic ring (or ch 2) and add 5 sc 

    R2: 1 sc per st Repeat R2 until the tail is 6.5 inches long Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Sew tail to the back of the body pointing upwards. Optionally, add a wire inside first, so you can bend the tail the way you like.

    Crochet Cat Face

    Add the plastic eyes with fasteners. Use the black yarn to sew on the face using the running stitch. I started with a triangle and filled in the triangles with the running stitch. Then I added the whiskers and the mouth, all using the running stitch. 

    Fasten off and weave in your ends.
