    Easy Crochet for Beginners

    The Pampering Vanity Set is very easy to make, simple enough for beginners who are ready to work in the round. In addition, while the Crochet Tissue Box Organizer pattern is written for a standard square box, I've also included instructions for adapting this pattern to fit any size - therefore, you can make a custom crochet tissue box organizer in any size!

    Of course, this Crochet Vanity Set doesn't have to be relegated to the bedroom or bath - it can also come in handy in the craft room or next to your favorite chair, to keep your crochet tools close at hand. Particularly helpful during allergy season!

    My Inspiration

    When I was asked to participate in this Blog Hop, I thought about what memories come to mind when I think of my mother. And one of the strongest is watching her get ready when I was a child - putting on her "face" before we'd go to town. I was so fascinated by the process, and couldn't wait to have my own vanity someday.

    It's taken a few (dozen) years, but I finally have my very own vanity table, and making things like the Pampering Vanity Set to make it pretty has made me so happy - I hope this set makes you happy too!

    NOTES

    If you prefer not to use the FSC method for Row 1, then just ch 1 more than the number listed and sc in the second ch from the hook and each remaining ch across.

    The Crochet Tissue Box Organizer is written for a standard square box - see dimensions above. For all other sizes of tissue boxes, please see the Any Size Tissue Box Organizer Instructions below.

    Both patterns feature turned rounds or joined rows - this means that after joining with a sl st, you will turn your work to crochet from the other direction. Using stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch of each round is very helpful here.

    Any Size Tissue Box Organizer Instructions

    If your tissue box is not a standard square size, you can adjust this pattern by working to the dimensions of your box as follows, referencing the pattern above:

    Row 1 is the width of the top, with the tissue opening held horizontally - FSC as many sts as needed to just cover this width.

    Repeat Row 2 until you are just under half way across the box top.

    When it's time to make Row 9 (or it's equivalent), sc until the tissue opening begins, ch the number needed to get across the opening, and then sc the same number of sts at the end as at the beginning of the row.

    Then, Repeat Row 2 again until you have covered the top of the box.

    Work evenly along the sides for Rnd 18, and then rep rows as needed for the height of the box.

    After reaching the height of the box, add 4 increases in the next round - 1 at each corner of the box.

    Then, add another round of increases with approximately 8 sts evenly spaced.

    Finally, work evenly to the desired storage pocket height, changing colors if and when desired.

        There is a search bar (on the right on desktop/laptop, towards the bottom on mobile) that should help for any future searches too! 🙂

      Hi, I love your pattern! How would you go about making the tray 9×13 inches? I have a lone peice of tile that i use for crafting, but id like to make a back cover for it so it doesn't sit directly on the table. I'm sorry if this is inappropriate. Thank you!

        Hi Megan! Not inappropriate at all! I would work 52 sts across, for 45 rows, before adding the sides. 🙂
