"Victorian Rose" TP Cover

This is one of the very first things I ever crocheted without a pattern, when my husband and I got our first apartment together. (I don't think we were married yet....We've been married for 16 years so this is about 17 years ago...) I was decorating our bathroom with a green, burgundy flowered shower curtain ('victorian rose'), hunter green and burgundy towels. I had the burgundy toilet tank and seat cover, complete with the rugs.... :P Well I never did write down how I did it and the only picture I have of it, it is laying on the back of the toilet all flat. :( But I remember what it basically looked like. And I wanted to try making one again. (Especially since I joined the 'Kitsch as Kitsch Can CAL'.) :P I made my original tp cover with hunter green trim, and a burgundy flower but I didn't have any so I did it in what my husband calls 'modern' colors. So here goes:

Note: This is for a double roll of toilet paper.
FLO= Front Loops Only
BLO= Back Loops Only

Note on hook size: I noticed on the second one I made, that it looked a little loose. So depending on how tight you crochet, you might want to go down a size, to a G hook...) :-)
H hook
WW yarn small amounts for trim and flower about a half a skein (?) for the actual tp cover
