crochet pattern | storage sweater

 



⚘ A cute cover for any of your containers/boxes (any size)! This pattern uses the waistcoat stitch for a faux knitted look, and super cozy for home/office decor.
**NOTE: there are 2 versions of this container cover V1) with the fuzzy side edges, and V2) without. You'll need to decide which version to make right in the beginning, when making the sizing of the bottom base, which will be explained more in the pattern!
hope you like it!!

i also give more tips throughout my crochet vlog if you want to see my thought-process behind this pattern or if you need something to watch as you crochet! would love to have you crochet with me :)

Materials I Used

Abbreviations

ch - chain

sc - single crochet

sc inc - increase (2 sc in one stitch)

blo - back loop only

PATTERN ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ₊˚⊹♡

BOTTOM BASE

There are 2 versions of this container cover: V1) with the fuzzy side edges, and V2) without the fuzzy side edges (only the top is fuzzy). Depending on the version, make the bottom base to these dimensions:

(V1): Chain the length of your container, where the "Length" (# of stitches per row) is the longer measurement of the base. Your "Width" (or # of rows) will be the width of your container. 
  • As you work up the Height, you should notice the cover being slightly loose over your container.

(V2): Chain the length of your container, then subtract 3 chains. The "Length" (# of stitches per row) will be slightly shorter than your actual container length. Likewise, your "Width" (or # of rows) will be 2-3 rows less than the width of your container.

  • As you work up the Height, you should notice the cover snuggly stretches and fits into over your container.


(working in rows, in a rectangular shape)

R1: Chain to the Length of your container, ch1 for turning chain

R2: sc in the back bump across all stitches, ch1

R3 & beyond: sc across all stitches, ch1 (repeat until the desired Width)



(See photo) We will now work up the height of the container. Make a marker on the 4 corner stitches of your shape. Notice how the 2 sides that are parallel to the horizontal lines have clean "V" stitches, while the other two are jagged from the last sc + turning chain. Because of this, we will do different stitches depending on which side we're currently working on.

HEIGHT

R1: sc across the jagged edge (# of sc = # of rows you made), sc inc in the last stitch of this row/the corner stitch.

R2: sc blo across all stitches, sc inc in the last stitch of this row/the corner stitch.

R3: repeat R1

R4: repeat R2, slst in the first stitch of R1, ch1

We will used the waistcoast stitch for the rest of the height: instead of inserting you hook through the front+back loops (that you se from the top of a sc), insert your hook in the middle of the post, between the “V”(See photo) Then, complete the stitch just as you would a sc.

you can use the (mini) tutorial in my youtube vlog to reference! (timestamp 2:41-3:54)

 

R5 & beyond: waistcoat stitch across all stitches, slst, ch1

(repeat until your 1 row short of your container's height)



    FUZZY DETAIL

    Side Edge (Optional for V1)
    Pinch the corners of your base shape. Insert your hook through the bottom corner. 
    **Depending on how loose your cover is, you may need to insert your hook through multiple columns!!
    Attach your fuzzy yarn here (See photo), and sc up the stitches of your corner column.  
    Fasten off, and leaving in your loose ends (for now)

    Top Edge
    Attach your fuzzy yarn to any stitch of the top row
    sc across the row, working in the loose ends. 
    **If you notice the yarn flaring out at the rim more than you like, skip/sc decrease some stitches as you sc across to tighten the top rim. 
    Fasten off, and weave in your ends


    ...and that's it! ♥️

    crochet pattern | sturdy miffy glasses holder

    Image
      ⚘ I n my experience making crochet glasses holders, the main issue I found myself running into was how flimsy the holders were (specifically the side rims). I needed my holders to be sturdy & protective, so I've written down my process of making these cases more durable! ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹♡ NOTE: I alternate where my increase stitches are as I work along the curve part of the oval base to give a smoother curve appearance. For example instead of (1sc, inc) → (2sc, inc ) → (3sc, inc) → (4sc, inc ) for consecutive rows, I do (1sc, inc) → ( inc , 2sc) → (3sc, inc) → ( inc , 4sc) Either way works just as fine! For the pattern, I'll keep it the traditional way, but know that you have the option to alternate your increase stitches if you like the look of a smoother curve. I'll mark the rows that I alternate inc with a * if you want try it my way! Materials I Used White acrylic yarn, medium weight (4) double stranded Black or brown acrylic yarn (for face details) stuffing (for ea...
