About This Angry TP Cal Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a tiny angry toilet paper roll ornament with a removable-looking tear and an expressive felt face. It uses simple half double crochet rows to make the paper strip and a smaller roll for the cardboard core. The finished piece is perfect for hanging on a tree or gifting as a cheeky handmade token.
Minimal supplies and beginner-friendly stitches make this project approachable and quick to complete. The assembly includes hot glue wrapping and felt face details for instant personality.
Why You'll Love This Angry TP Cal Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns everyday humor into a sweet handmade ornament you can finish in an afternoon. I love how the simple HDC rows stack up to create a neat fabric that resembles toilet paper. The tiny tan roll inside gives it realistic contrast and a fun surprise when unrolled. I also enjoy how customizable the facial expression is — a few felt cuts completely change the personality.
Switch Things Up
I love how small changes can make this pattern feel brand new; try different facial expressions to change the mood of each roll.
You can swap white yarn for pastel shades to create a softer, whimsical set perfect for nursery decor.
Make a miniature set by using lighter weight yarn and a smaller hook for tiny keychain versions of the roll.
If you prefer a chunkier look, use bulky yarn with a larger hook to create a plush, cuddly ornament that stands out on a tree.
I often add embroidered blush or tiny felt accessories like bows or hats to personalize each roll further.
Try varying the inner roll color—use gray or kraft-colored yarn for a vintage cardboard look or bright colors for a playful vibe.
Instead of hot glue, you can hand-sew the paper strip in place for a fully fabric, no-glue version that is kid-friendly.
I sometimes add a small loop of ribbon inside the roll rather than string for a more decorative hanging option.
Use metallic thread or a strand of sparkly yarn held together with the main yarn for festive holiday editions.
For gifts, pair the ornament with a small tag or make a set of three faces to create a mini collection that tells a tiny story on your tree.
Don't be afraid to experiment with asymmetrical faces or playful additions like tiny felt hands or a mini mask for themed variations.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the correct chain count at the start can change the width drastically; recount your CH 61 for the toilet paper and CH 26 for the roll before proceeding.
✗ Not turning your work consistently when instructed may create uneven rows; always CH 1 and turn for the HDC rows as written to maintain an even edge.
✗ Using too much hot glue when wrapping can make the fabric stiff and lumpy; use a thin, even coating and press gently to smooth as you wrap.
✗ Gluing facial features without testing placement first can make the expression off-center; hold the felt pieces in place and preview with the roll wrapped before permanently gluing.
✗ Failing to leave a long tail on the tan roll will make sewing it together difficult; leave the tail as instructed so you can sew the last row to the first row securely.
✗ Using embroidery thread or safety eyes can show through when the toilet paper is unrolled; cut facial details from black felt and glue them on to avoid bleed-through.
