Description
A lovely DIY project to create small and medium crocheted boxes with separate lids and decorative flowers on top, perfect for storing jewelry or small treasures.
Ingredients
- Lily Sugar ’n Cream yarn in White and Cream
- Crochet hook, 3.25 mm
- Yarn needle for sewing the flower and weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch marker, optional
Instructions
- Begin with the main color (MC). Make a slip knot and chain 2.
- Work 6 single crochet stitches into the second chain from the hook.
- Continue working in rounds as described in the pattern, increasing stitches as needed to create the desired box size.
- Keep your tension even so the base remains flat. If the work begins to cup or ripple, check that the increases are being made correctly.
- Work the bottom section in a similar way, following the lid instructions for the required shaping.
- To make the flower, begin with a slip knot and chain 4.
- Follow the flower instructions to form the decorative flower.
- Fasten off and leave a yarn tail for sewing.
- Use a yarn needle to sew the flower securely to the top of the lid.
- Weave in all loose ends neatly on the inside of the box or lid.
Notes
Use the original stitch instructions for the exact increase sequence and flower construction. Do not add increases randomly, as this can cause the base or lid to become wavy.
