12 reading characters in one crochet bundle
Bring a little reading company to a bathroom shelf or toilet cistern lid. Each crocheted character sits with long soft legs hanging over the front edge and a small book open in its hands. A short basket holds the lower part of an upright spare toilet paper roll, with the white paper showing beneath a removable character hat.
Pattern details
- 12 designs in one 71-page English PDF.
- All three complete collections: Christmas, Winter Friends and Animals.
- Linked contents and a bookmark group for each collection, with the original section bookmarks nested beneath it.
- The original instructions, pictures, page numbers and internal contents links from all three books.

- A shared basket, roll fits, limbs and open book: learn the base once, then choose another character's hat and details.
Christmas Reading Holders
Santa, Snowman, Reindeer and Gingerbread. Pointed and crown hats, a top hat with holly, soft antlers, belts, scarf stripes, icing and colourful gumdrops give each reader its own look.
Winter Friends Reading Holders
Elf, Gnome, Penguin and Polar Bear. A floppy green hat, a tall red cone with a textured white beard, a black pompom beanie and round grey-lined ears bring four more readers to the shelf.
Animal Reading Holders
Cat, Bear, Bunny and Fox. Grey tabby stripes, tan-lined round ears, tall pink-lined bunny ears and an orange fox with black-tipped ears make a collection for year-round shelf company.
How it works: Lower the upright toilet roll into the empty basket and put the removable hat on top. The upper part of the white roll stays visible between basket and hat. Lift off the hat to take out or replace the roll; the basket, limbs and open book stay together.
Shared base and roll fits: All three collections use the same basket, limbs and book construction. The Main basket is about 13.2 cm across with a 6.0 cm wall at gauge. Choose Small for a roll 9.6-10.3 cm across, Main for over 10.3 cm through 11 cm, or Large for over 11 cm through 11.7 cm. The fits are for rolls 10-11 cm tall. Measure your roll and check the openings as you work; yarn, stuffing and seams affect the finished size.
Materials: Bulky (weight 5) yarn with a 6 mm hook for the basket and hat; worsted (weight 4) yarn with a 3.5 mm hook for the limbs, book and most details. Each collection includes its character colour plans and full materials list. You will also need polyester fibrefill, a tapestry needle, scissors, pins, removable stitch markers, measuring tape, a spare toilet roll and optional ivory felt for the book pages. All pieces are soft and wire-free.
Skill: Intermediate. Spiral single crochet, waistcoat stitch, turned rows, increases, decreases, back-loop turns, colour changes, simple embroidery and sewing.
This is a decoration, not a toy. Keep small parts away from children and pets, and display the whole basket base on a dry, level surface away from water and heat. Digital crochet instructions only; no finished holder, yarn or other materials are included.
