About This Angry TP CAL Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a tiny, angry-looking toilet paper roll ornament made with medium worsted yarn and simple half double crochet rows. It includes two small rectangular pieces (the white toilet paper and the tan core) plus assembly instructions to roll, glue, and add felt facial expressions. The finished piece is lightweight and makes a humorous holiday ornament or pocket-sized gift.
Designed with straightforward stitches, this pattern is perfect for quick makes and last-minute gifts. Youll only need basic HDC knowledge and minimal tools to finish it.
Why You'll Love This Angry TP CAL Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a mundane household object into a playful, handmade treasure that delights friends and family. I enjoy how fast it works up — you can go from yarn to finished ornament in under two hours, which is so satisfying. I also love the simple, expressive face made from felt; it gives the piece personality without complicated embroidery. The pattern is forgiving and perfect for practicing consistent tension with basic stitches, and I find it a wonderful stash-busting project for small amounts of yarn.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this little ornament by changing the face — try different eyebrow shapes or mouth expressions to create a whole personality collection.
I often switch yarn colors; using pastels makes a sweet version while bold colors create a playful, modern twist.
To make it bigger or smaller I change the yarn weight and hook size — bulky yarn gives a chunky ornament and fingering weight creates a mini keychain-size version.
I sometimes add tiny felt accessories like a bow or a tiny hat to give each roll a unique look and character.
For a softer, more textured paper look I use a boucle or slightly fuzzy yarn for the white section to simulate real paper texture.
If you want a more durable ornament, replace hot glue with fabric glue or a few discreet hand stitches to secure pieces together.
I also experiment with different hanging strings — twine gives a rustic feel while metallic thread adds holiday sparkle.
Try embroidering subtle details on the tan roll for extra texture, but remember to keep stitches small so they dont show through the paper when unrolled.
If making for kids, skip the hot glue step and use careful hand stitching to attach felt pieces for a safer finish.
I enjoy making sets with matching facial themes — sleepy, surprised, angry — for a coordinated display that tells a little story on your tree.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the second chain from the hook when working the first row will change your stitch count; always start HDC in the second chain from the hook as instructed to get the correct number of stitches.
✗ Not turning your work at the end of the row can cause uneven edges and incorrect row counts; be sure to CH 1 and turn your work for rows 2-10 (toilet paper) or rows 2-12 (roll).
✗ Fastening off the roll without leaving a long tail will make sewing the tube closed difficult; leave a long tail for sewing the last row to the first row together so you can close the seam neatly.
✗ Using embroidery thread or safety eyes for facial details can show through when the toilet paper is unrolled; instead, cut facial expressions from black felt and glue them on to prevent poking or showing through.
✗ Applying too much hot glue while wrapping can make the tube stiff or create lumps; use a thin, even coating of hot glue and smooth as you wrap the toilet paper to keep a neat shape.
