Candle Light Lace Cube Cover – Crochet Pattern

A Candlelight Lace Cube Cover makes a beautiful storage option for your home or crafting space. Collapsible cubes are perfect to hold yarn or craft supplies. They are also great to take to a bridal or baby shower. Cover one with lace, put your gift or gifts inside, then add pretty tissue paper sticking out of the top.

A collapsible storage cube that is covered in lace, is perfect to stuff full of gifts, for the new bride or mother to be.

You won’t need to wrap it with paper, just put it on the gift table, because you have already wrapped it in lace. I have designed other collapsible storage cube covers. The gray and white chevron is free, and there is an ebook that includes the entire collection pictured below.

A stitch tutorial for the Candle Light Lace Stitch can be found on Crochet Kim’s Website.

I made a few changes so that the lace would be taut, and fit around the cube. It’s still the same stitch, but the number of stitches to skip was needed for a good fit.

Candlelight Lace Cube Cover 

Make a base of 31 chains

(30 hdc)

hdc in each st across; ch1, turn (30 hdc)
Execute the ch1, but DO NOT turn at the end of Round 24
DIY Collapsible Storage Cubes - Lace Cover Crochet Pattern - Candle Light Stitch
Square Base is 10” x 10” The base will need to be slightly smaller if covering a cube, so that it will be taut and not sag.

DIY Collapsible Storage Cubes - Lace Cover Crochet Pattern - Candle Light Stitch


Following instructions will use rounds instead of rows. Do not turn throughout the
rest of the pattern.

You will execute the corners (3 sc stitches) into the upper part of a hdc stitch, or a turning chain that was  made while making the base. The corner execution will not be executed under the two loops of a hdc stitch, it will always be a side corner of a hdc or a turning ch, which ever applies.

Round 1:

3 sc at the corner; 30 sc evenly spaced down the 1st side; 3 sc at 2nd corner; 30 sc across the next edge; 3 sc at 3rd corner; 30 sc evenly spaced up the 3rd side; 3 sc in 4th corner, 30 sc across the last edge; join w/slp st to beg. ch1 (132 sc)

Round 2:

ch1, bp hdc completely around; join w/slp st to beg. sc. (132 bp hdc)

Note the bottom will stretch to fit around the corners. This stretching is essential to keep the bottom from sagging.

Note: Do not hank and pull the slp st’s, they should be loose. You are walking your yarn into position.

Repeat Rounds 4 thru 6 consecutively 5x.

SC Round
Round 24:

ch1, *(sc in nxt sc) 3x; sc in ch 3 sp. sc in dc of V st., sc in ch 2 sp of V st., sc in dc of V st., sc in ch 3 sp.* repeat around. Executing 2 sc’s in last st.; join w/slp st to beg. sc. (118 sc)

Cross Stitch Round
Round 25:

ch 3(this counts as dc), Cross back going in front of the ch3, dc in the last sc of prev. round; Cross stitch around; join w/slp st to 3rd ch of beg. ch3. (59 cross stitches)

Round 26:

ch1, sc in joining st and in each st around; join w/slp st to beg. sc. (118 sc)

Use whatever method to block and shape the cover you would like. I recommend covering your cube or box in plastic, then proceed to dampen with water from a spray bottle, or use spray starch and shape the cover in place. Use hot glue or favorite gluing method to attach to the cube or box. I do not recommend spray glue as it attracts dirt.
