Size: This Valentine’s Tissue Box Cover is designed to fit a rectangular Kleenex/tissue box with the following measurements: Height: 3.5″, Length: 9″, Width: 4.75″ and Tissue Opening Length: 4.25″. Finished Valentine’s Tissue Box Cover is: 9.25″ long, 3.5″ high and 5″ wide.

Yarn: Any worsted weight (4) yarn. I used Loops & Threads Impeccable Yarn, Solid. This yarn is medium (4) weight and 100% acrylic. The size is 4.5 oz / 127.5 g. A skein is 285 yd./260m. I used the color “Cherry” for the tissue box cover (approx. half a skein), the color “White” for the envelope (approx 10 yards), the color “Arbor Rose” for one of the hearts and light-pink scrap yarn for the other (only a few yards are needed for each heart).

Other Materials: Yarn Needle, Scissors, Stitch Marker, Measuring Tape and a Rectangle Kleenex/Tissue Box (l: 9″ x h: 3.5″ x w: 4.75″). To use as mailbox, the tissue box should be empty.
