You’ll need:
4 ply wool yarn in white (I used Pear Tree Australia 100% merino, one skein of which made 7 toilet paper squares)
Light worsted weight yarn in brown (I used Elann.com Peruvian Highland Wool)
Small amount of black yarn for embroidered features
Size 4 straight needles and size 5 double-pointed needles, or sized to your yarn
Stitch marker
Tapestry needle
Gauge: Doesn’t matter!
Abbreviations:
k= knit
k2tog = knit 2 stitches together
yo = yarn over
Pattern starts here!
With white yarn, cast on 33 stitches onto straight needles
Work 34 rows stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side)
Next row: [k2tog, yo] to last stitch, k1
Purl one row
You have just knitted one toilet paper square.
To continue to make squares, work 32 rows stockinette stitch (instead of 34), then work the row of [k2tog, yo] and the purl row, then repeat, beginning with 32 rows. For the last square, work 34 rows again, and cast off.
Make as many squares as you like!
To embroider on faces with your black yarn, make two small horizontal stitches for each eye, and embroider on a mouth with backstitch.
Cardboard Core
With brown yarn, cast on 22 stitches onto 3 double-pointed needles, place marker, and join in a round.
Knit 36 rounds, or as many rounds as you need to match the width of your toilet paper, and cast off.
Sew the end of your toilet paper to the “cardboard” with backstitch.
