About This Angry TP Cal Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a tiny, angry-faced toilet paper roll ornament using HDC rows and a small tan inner roll. The project uses basic stitches and simple assembly for a charming finished piece. It is designed to be quick, beginner-friendly, and perfect for ornaments or small gifts.
You will work a white rectangular strip and a tan tube then assemble them into a realistic roll. Facial features are cut from felt and glued for a clean, unrollable-safe finish.
Why You'll Love This Angry TP Cal Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a silly everyday object into a charming little character. I enjoy the simplicity of the stitches which makes it feel relaxing and fast to make. The face details are so expressive yet quick to add with felt and glue. Making a whole tree of these tiny rolls always brings a smile to friends and family.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this pattern by changing the face to different emotions; try surprised, sleepy, or happy faces for variety.
I sometimes use bulky yarn and a larger hook to make a chunky, plush roll that works as a small pillow or plushie.
Want a tiny keychain? Use sport weight yarn and a smaller hook to make a pocket-sized version with a keyring attached.
I often add embroidered brows or freckles instead of felt to give a softer, handmade look to the face.
Try different colors for the paper: pastel tones make cute nursery ornaments and seasonal shades work well for holiday decor.
I also like to add a tiny crocheted bow or scarf around the roll to dress it up for gifting or seasonal themes.
For a durable outdoor ornament, swap hot glue for fabric glue and seal the felt edges, or use embroidered features instead of glued felt.
If you want a more realistic look, lightly stuff the white strip before wrapping and glue in place so the paper looks a bit puffier.
I recommend experimenting with the amount of overlap on the white wrap to change how much of the tan tube shows through for different looks.
Don't be afraid to mix textures — a boucle or textured yarn for the white strip will give you a fun, tactile roll that stands out on a tree.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the second chain when starting rows can change your stitch count and length; be sure to begin HDC in the second chain from the hook to achieve the correct stitch count.
✗ Not folding the tube edges inward before gluing can make the roll look loose and floppy; flip the outer edges of the tube inwards first to create a structured roll.
✗ Using too much hot glue when wrapping the toilet paper can seep through and harden the fabric; apply glue sparingly and press the edges quickly to secure them.
✗ Forgetting to leave a long tail on the tan roll will make seaming difficult later; leave a long tail for sewing and use it to stitch the last row to the first row together.
✗ Placing facial features without checking the unrolled look can reveal glue or thread through the layers; cut facial expressions from black felt and glue them flat so thread or safety eyes do not show when unrolled.
