Step-by-Step Pattern

Part 1: Create the Gray Starting Edge

Step 1: Begin with Chains

1. Start with a slip knot.
   • Wrap the yarn around your finger to create a loop, insert your hook, yarn over, and pull through to secure the knot.
2. Make 10 chains.
   • Yarn over, pull through the loop on the hook. Repeat until you have 10 chains.

Step 2: Row 1

1. Skip the first chain and insert your hook into the second chain.
2. Yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
   • This is one single crochet (SC).
3. Continue making single crochet stitches across the rest of the chains for a total of 9 single crochets.

Step 3: Row 2-4

1. At the end of Row 1, chain 1 and turn your work.
2. Repeat the same process: work 1 single crochet into each stitch across (9 stitches total).
3. Complete 4 rows of gray yarn (remember to chain 1 at the start of each row and turn your work).
4. After completing Row 4, chain 1 and tie off the yarn.
   • Cut the gray yarn with scissors and secure it with a knot to prevent unraveling.

Part 2: Create the White Toilet Paper Roll

Step 4: Change to White Yarn

1. Attach the white yarn to the first stitch of the gray edge using a slip knot.
2. Insert your hook into the first stitch and yarn over with the white yarn to secure it.

Step 5: Row 1

1. Chain 1 and turn your work.
2. Into the first stitch, insert your hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops (single crochet).
3. Work 1 single crochet into each stitch across, for a total of 9 single crochets.

Step 6: Rows 2-50

1. Repeat the same process for Rows 2 to 50:
   • Chain 1 at the beginning of each row, turn your work, and work 1 single crochet into each stitch across (9 stitches total per row).
2. This will create a long, flat strip of fabric resembling toilet paper.

Step 7: Finish the White Roll

1. At the end of Row 50, chain 1 and tie off the yarn.
2. Cut the yarn with your scissors and secure the end to prevent slipping.

Part 3: Assemble the Roll

Step 8: Roll the Fabric

1. Place the gray edge at the bottom.
2. Roll the fabric tightly, starting from the gray edge, into the shape of a toilet paper roll.

Step 9: Secure the Roll

1. Use liquid glue as you roll:
   • Apply a thin layer of glue to secure each turn of the roll.
   • Continue applying glue as you roll to ensure the shape stays intact.
2. Once fully rolled, press gently to ensure the glue holds.

Part 4: Add Details

Step 10: Add Safety Eyes (Optional)

1. Attach safety eyes to the front of the toilet paper roll.
   • Use glue if the fabric is too thick, or simply insert and secure them tightly.

Step 11: Embroider the Smile

1. Use black yarn and a yarn needle to stitch a small smile beneath the eyes.
   • Insert the needle to create a curve using backstitches.

Step 12: Add Cheeks

1. Lightly apply blush or pink eyeshadow beneath the eyes for cute cheeks.

Part 5: Final Touch

Step 13: Attach the Keychain Ring

1. Use the yarn needle to sew the keychain ring to the top of the roll or gray edge of the toilet paper roll.
2. Test to ensure it’s firmly attached.
