About This Angry TP Cal Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a small, rolled toilet paper ornament with an angry expression, crocheted in HDC rows and assembled into a neat tube. It uses medium worsted yarn and simple construction so you can finish quickly. The design includes a separate tan roll core and a white outer sheet that unrolls for a playful effect.
Perfect for beginners and quick holiday makes, this pattern uses only HDC and chains. You will finish with a glued felt face and an ornament string for hanging.
Why You'll Love This Angry TP Cal Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it is so quick to make and always gets a laugh from friends and family. I enjoy how a few simple rows can become a playful, characterful ornament with just a bit of felt and glue. Making multiples is fast, so I often whip up a handful for gifts or tree decorations. The pattern is forgiving and perfect for practicing row work while producing an adorable finished piece.
Switch Things Up
I love changing up the expression by cutting different shapes from felt; a surprised face or sleepy eyes gives each roll a new personality.
I sometimes use soft gray yarn instead of tan for the core to create a subtle contrast that reads more neutral on the tree.
To make a mini keychain version, I use lighter fingering yarn and a smaller hook so the roll fits on a keyring perfectly.
If I want a chunkier look, I swap to bulky yarn and a larger hook which makes a bold statement ornament in minutes.
I often add embroidered blush with pink thread for a cuter vibe instead of an angry face for baby-friendly gifts.
Try sewing a small loop of ribbon inside the roll instead of ornament string for a more rustic hanger option.
I enjoy making matching sets with different faces and hanging them together as a quirky garland.
For a washable version, I use fabric glue and tightly stitched felt rather than hot glue so the ornament holds up better over time.
To customize for parties, change the felt color to match themes — black for spooky, red for festive, or gold for elegant touches.
I sometimes stuff the roll lightly before sealing the seam to create a firmer, more defined tube that holds its shape while unrolling.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the second chain when working into the starting chain will change the stitch count dramatically; always start HDC in the second chain from the hook as instructed.
✗ Not counting the stitches after the foundation row can lead to uneven width and fit; count the 60 or 25 stitches after your first row to confirm correct gauge.
✗ Cutting the tail too short on the roll makes sewing the seam together difficult; leave a long tail for sewing and shaping the tube before fastening off.
✗ Using embroidery thread or safety eyes for the face will show through when the toilet paper is unrolled; instead, cut facial features from black felt and glue them in place.
