Let this little dog keep watch over your tissues!

This PDF pattern (US terms) will guide you to crochet an adorable dog house tissue box cover as shown in pictures, including the dog and bone. The tissue box cover will be made using sport weight cotton yarn and crochet hook C (2.5 mm).
The cover can also be made using wool or acrylic yarn, as long as it’s suitable for crochet hook C (2.5 mm). The tissue box cover in the pictures was made using Schachenmayr SMC Catania.

Finished size will be approx. 7.1” x 5,9” x 4.7” (18 x 15 x 12 cm) (h x w x d).
There are 2 openings; 1 at the bottom to insert a box of tissues, and 1 at the top to pull the tissues out. Parts in this pattern will be worked in rows, as well as in continuous rounds. The dog and bone are both made as appliques.
