Product Description
An easy-to-make container with a square base which can be made in any width, height or number of colours, making it a good project for beginners or for using up yarn left over from other projects.
The container is worked in rounds from the base up and can be made with or without the handles.
This pattern uses both American and British crochet terms.
You will need:
Although you can use any yarn, for a robust container I recommend using a thick yarn (aran or thicker) in a non-stretchy fibre such as raffia, cotton or jute. I used Bobbiny 5mm recycled cotton cord in Black and Natural.
The smallest-sized crochet hook that you can comfortably use with your chosen yarn. The smaller your hook the denser your stitches will be and the better your container will hold its shape. I used an 8mm (US L/11) hook.
Stitch markers.
A tapestry needle if using yarn, or glue if using thick cord.
Any-Size Square Container Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
The Any-Size Square Container is a versatile, beginner-friendly crochet project designed by Squibblybups. This container features a square base and can be customized to any desired width, height, and number of colors, making it an ideal project for beginners or for using up yarn scraps from other projects. The container shown in the cover photo measures 24cm wide and 15cm tall. Optional handles can be added to the finished container for increased functionality.
Construction Technique
The container is worked in rounds from the base upward, allowing crafters to build the structure systematically. The pattern begins with a magic loop for the base, though an alternative method is provided for those unfamiliar with the magic loop technique. Color changes are entirely optional and can be incorporated at the slip stitch join at the end of any round, giving makers complete creative control over the final appearance.
Crochet Stitches and Techniques
While specific stitch abbreviations are referenced throughout the pattern, the instructions utilize standard crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The pattern employs both American and British crochet terminology, with American terms listed first followed by their British equivalents to ensure clarity for international crocheters.
