Full Etsy listing description
Give the bathroom shelf a cheerful colour upgrade with Spare Flair, a toilet roll sleeve knitting pattern in three circumferences. The eight-page A4 PDF guides you through one flat garter-stitch rectangle, three colour blocks and a single vertical seam. Both ends stay open, making the sleeve easy to slip over a spare roll and remove for replacement. Preset sleeves measure approximately 34, 38 or 42 cm around and 10 cm high at washed gauge. Measure your actual roll before choosing a size. Exact stitch counts, row totals, a native seam diagram, custom-fit calculations and a worked example keep the construction clear. Choose the illustrated gold, teal and coral bands, one shade or slim stripes. Yarn and tool details, care advice and a project tracker are included. Suitable for beginner knitters who can cast on, knit, cast off and sew a seam. Illustrations show intended design; physical test-knitting and fitting remain outstanding.
From download to done

Measure the roll before you cast on

  1. Measure the actual roll circumference and choose the closest preset size or custom-fit calculation.
  2. Swatch DK cotton in washed garter stitch and choose needles that achieve the stated gauge.
  3. Knit the colour blocks flat, then sew one vertical seam while keeping both ends open.

How do I choose a Spare Flair size?
