    This cute Santa Belt Tissue Box Cover is a free crochet pattern and is made using just single crochet stitches and worsted weight Brava yarn by WeCrochet. The tissues from the tissue box cover are pulled out from the top opening.


    We are right in the middle of Christmas and decorating and enjoying the time with our family and friends. This is truly my favorite time of the year. I look forward to it every year for months. The best part is seeing all the decorations around the house while watching Christmas movies in PJ’s and drinking hot cocoa. Is there anything better? Actually there is one thing we can add as a cherry on top, and that is us crocheting while all that is happening. Right?

    Crocheting Tissue Box Covers

    One of my favorite crochet patterns to design are tissue box covers. As soon as you have a plain colored cover you can add anything you wish to make it special. And it is so much prettier to look at than a store-bought cubic tissue box cover.

    For the Santa Belt Tissue Box Cover, I only crocheted a few items. I hot glued the belt and belt buckle to the red cover to keep it all nice and sturdy.

    Crocheting for Christmas

    After designing the Gingerbread Tissue Box Cover, I knew I had to create one more Christmas tissue box cover that is easy and quickly made. And since I just published a Santa Hat, I knew I needed to create a Santa Belt tissue box cover also. It fits perfectly between our Christmas decorations around the house. It also matches the Santa Belt Ornament I designed a couple of years ago perfectly.

    Best Yarn for Tissue Box Covers

    Since most tissue box covers are displayed for a long time in the open air in one home, it’s best to use cotton yarn so you can easily wash them. This Santa Belt Tissue Box Cover was made using Brava yarn from WeCrochet, which is 100% acrylic.

    Written Pattern for the Santa Belt Tissue Box Cover:

    First you work on the red cover. Then you will crochet the belt and belt buckle separately.

    Finally you will sew or glue all parts together easily. It will make a great and special decoration for your home.

    Start with the red cover

    Ch 20 with red, connect the first with the last ch to make a large loop

    You will now work in continuous rounds, so be sure to use a stitch marker.

    R1: *1 sc in the next 4 chs, then 3 sc in the next ch, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R2-8: *1 sc in each st until you reach the corner, 3 sc in to the corner st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    You should now have 80 sts in total.

    Tissue Box Cover from the top

    Now you will crochet just single crochet stitches in each st, until you reach 26 rounds of just single crochet stitches (or you reach the bottom of the tissue box when you put the cover on top of the tissue box). Fasten off and weave in your ends.

    Red Tissue Box Cover

    Black Santa Belt

    Using black, ch 9

    R1: 1 sc in each ch, turn (8 sts)

    R2: 1 sc in each st, turn (8 sts)

    Repeat R2 until you have 20 inches (could be shorter or longer depending on your tension).

    Now add a tip to make it look like a belt (this is optional).

    R1: 1 sc dec, 1 sc in each st until the last 2 sts, 1 sc dec, turn

    R2: 1 sc in each st, turn

    R3: 1 sc dec, 1 sc in each st until the last 2 sts, 1 sc dec, turn

    R4: 1 sc dec twice, turn

    R5: 1 sc dec

    Fasten off and weave in your ends.

    Black Santa Belt for Tissue Box Cover

    Belt Buckle

    Using yellow (canary), ch 32, connect the first with the last ch to make a large loop

    R1: *1 sc in the next 7 chs, then 3 sc in the next ch, repeat from * until the end of the round

    Fasten off and weave in your ends.

    Gluing the Santa Belt Tissue Box Cover together

    You can sew or glue the 3 pieces together. I chose to use hot glue.

    First, I put the red cover over the tissue box. Then I hot glued the black belt on before gluing the yellow belt buckle on.
