Crochet lace cover’s are beautiful and add beauty to those collapsible, foldable storage bins. This crochet pattern is advanced beginner and will make a beautiful Crocheted lace cube cover for you to store your yarn in or to use as a Baby Shower or Bridal Shower gift container.

The Over Brook Lace Cube Cover is the third in the Lace Cube Cover Series.
This cover completely covers the storage bin and so does the Candle Light Lace Cover. However the Sunspray Lace Cover partially covers the cube and is so elegant!
Over Brook Lace Cube Cover Crochet Pattern
Notes:
1. The bottom will stretch and be taut if making it for a collapsible cube.
2. There are notes to help you if you choose to use a different sized box or cube to make your own cover.
One Collapsible Cube:
This pattern will fit a 10.5” x 10.5” x 10.75” cube. This would be great to use on any box or cube. Here are tips to help you along.
1. This stitch design uses a multiple of 11 stitches. Take note of ending stitch count at “Round2”. To produce the lace pattern add or subtract 11 stitches, depending on the size of box or cube
that you are covering.
2. Any square or rectangle box or cube of any size can be used as long as the base covers the bottom. If covering a box, I recommend extending the base 1/4″ past the edge. If covering a collapsible cube I recommend the base be 1/4″ smaller. (See photos)
3. IMPORTANT! After you add the yarn cover it can be a tight fit for some of those storage bins to fit into the cubbies of a cube organizer. The bins need to be an inch or 1 ½” smaller than the
cubby that holds the bin. These bins look so good sitting on the top of a book case or on a bench by the front door to catch “stuff”.
Yarn used:
MC = Red Heart Aran 400-450 yds. CC = Red Heart Heather Gray 80 yds.
Gauge:
4”h x 4”w = 10 hdc rows x 12 hdc st’s (check gauge while making the base of the cover)
Hook:
H-8.5/5.00mm
Special Stitches:
trb V = trb, ch 2, trb in stitch indicated in pattern
trb fan = (*tr, ch1* 5x; one more tr) in stitch indicated
dc shell = dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc in stitch indicated.
5dc shell = 5 dc’s in stitch indicated
Stitch Guide:
join w/ = join with
slp st = Slip Stitch
ch = Chain
sc = Single Crochet
hdc = Half Double Crochet
dc = Double Crochet
tr = Treble Crochet
bp hdc = Back Post Half Double Crochet
sp. = Space
nxt = Next
beg. = beginning
* * = Complete sequence between the stars, the number of times stated;
x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;
in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch to complete stitch or sequence of stitches stated
Make a base of 31 chains
Row 1:
hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each st across; ch1, turn (30 hdc)
Row 2-24:
hdc in each st across; ch1, turn (30 hdc) Execute the ch1, but DO NOT turn at the end of Row 24
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.
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:
ch 1, make a slight turn to start down the side & execute 3 sc at the corner; 30 sc evenly spaced down the 1st side; 3 sc at 2nd corner; make a slight turn, 30 sc across the next edge; make a slight turn, 3 sc at 3rd corner; 30 sc evenly spaced up the 3rd side; 3 sc in 4th corner; make a slight turn, 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. st. (132 bp hdc)
If making this to fit a cube, the bottom will stretch to fit around the corners. This stretching is essential to keep the bottom from sagging.
Follow charts left to right, and refer to “Special Stitches” when needed.

Round 21 & 22:
Repeat Rounds 19 & 20. End off and weave in all ends.
Optional:
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.
Do you have to block the cover?
No you don’t have to block the cover. If you are happy with stretching the lace cover and using hot glue at the top to glue it in place, it is easier and works just fine.
