Upcycle your empty orange juice container and make it into a decorative container for a potted plant or other what nots.
Yarn: Caron One Pound or Caron Simply Soft or similar
Crochet Hook size N and J
Size: 5.25" tall and top opening is 4" square
When I first discovered this stitch pattern I liked it so much I wanted to design something with it. But it comes with a limitation, and that is that it only works when done in the round. So for this application it is perfect!
One other note: I crochet left-handed. When you follow any of my pattern directions, that won't be an issue but the stitches will look reversed.
Wash juice container and remove the labels. If a sticky residue is still remaining, don't worry about it. It will just keep the crochet cover in place. With a marker draw a horizontal line around the container at 5.25" up from the bottom. Cut on the line with exacto knife or scissors.
Rnd 1: ch 1, hdc in each ch around. Don't join and don't turn throughout the pattern.
Change to N Hook for the rest of the pattern.
Rnd 2: *(sc, dc) in next st, sk 1 st; rep from * around.
Rnds 3 - 9: rep Rnd 2.
Fasten off with a long tail.
Use a regular 1 hole paper punch and punch holes through the top of the container 3/4" apart. Using the yarn tail, whip stitch sew around the top of the container catching in the top edge of the cover. Go around the top 2 times. Hide end of yarn and fasten off.
