    Free crochet pattern for a Rubik’s cube tissue box cover that is easy to make. It is a fun Rubik’s cube inspired crochet pattern with rearranging coloured squares.


    I am so excited about my new pattern creation: a Rubik’s Cube Tissue Box!

    This Rubik’s Cube pattern is unique because you can rearrange the colored square tiles any way you like! As most other patterns make you pick the color combination before making the cube, having a permanent color combination. But not this pattern.

    This pattern is designed that you make the colored square tiles separately from the black background. Once the squares are made they are attached using Velcro and hot glue.

    I got the idea for this crocheted tissue box cover from The Big Bang Theory, as Sheldon has a ceramic Rubik’s Cube on the end table next to “his spot”.

    Connecting all the Rubik’s cube Tissue Box Cover sides and top

    Start by crocheting the top to all 4 sides by single crocheting them together on the right side (let the side with the foundation chain be on the bottom (where the opening for the tissue box will be) using 20 sc.

    Once you created a cross by having the top attached to all the sides of the Rubik’s cube, it is time to crochet the sides together, again right side facing outwards (you want to see where the sides are connected). See the picture below to see what it will look like. It should be 24 sc to connect the sides together.

    Once all sides are connected, go one more round on the bottom of the tissue box opening with single crochet to get rid of the view of the foundation chain and making it look better.

    Cubes

    Make 9 Cubes per color (54 cubes in total)

    Ch 6

    Row 1:

    5 sc in each stitch (5 st)

    Row 2-5:

    Ch 1, 5 sc in each st (5 st)

    Ch 1, work 5 sc on the adjacent side (we are going around the square to make the side look better), Ch 1 (in the corner), 5 sc on the next side, Ch 1 (in the corner), 5 sc on the last side, sl st to the first stitch of the last row, tie off and weave in the ends

    Attach Velcro using hot glue to all the cubes on the right side (leaving the opposite side of the Velcro still attached), place the cubes on the black side or top the way you want them and hot glue the other part of the Velcro to the black side/top as seen on the picture below:
