This free crochet pattern for a shell toilet seat cover can be crocheted up in an afternoon or so. It is designed to fit a standard sized toilet seat.

The pattern bulks in a few areas, but once it is put onto the toilet seat it stretches out rather nicely. I used Red Heart Comfort yarn, but any other worsted weight yarn that results in the required gauge will work.

Material: Red Heart Comfort
Hook size: I/9-5.50MM
Finished size: Measures approximately 2.5" across from side to side of first round, and 2.75" across the loops of first round.
