In the apartment of every needlewoman there are always leftovers of yarn, all sorts of little things for sewing, multi-colored beads and original buttons. All this usually lies idle. And there is nowhere to apply, and it's a pity to throw it away. Meanwhile, many useful things can be made from all sorts of leftovers. For example, a box where you can put the little things you don't need yet. A knitted box can also be a great gift. In any case, there is no second such in the world, because everyone has different materials. The box can be crocheted and knitted in any more or less dense pattern. You can decorate it with floral or geometric patterns from the same yarn, you can embroider with beads or make an applique from leather.

- Wire
- Soldering iron
- Remains of skin
- Beads
- Gon
- Metal scissors
Instructions
Step 1
Make the frame of the box. Bend a wire rectangle of the desired length and width. Solder the ends. Make 3 more such rectangles. 2 of them will go to the box, the other 2 to the lid. Cut 4 pieces of wire equal to the height of the box, and 4 more, corresponding to the height of the lid. Solder the edges of the box to the corners of one of the rectangles so that they are perpendicular to the base. Solder the second rectangle on top. Make the lid frame the same way.
Step 2
Start knitting the box from the bottom base. For a rectangular box, tie a chain of air loops equal to the width of the base. Make 2 loops on the rise, turn the work over and knit a row with single crochets. It is generally best to tie the bottom base completely with such posts, since this is the most dense knit. For the surface of the lid, which is knitted according to the same principle, you can choose another knitting. The openwork knitted cover looks very nice, through which the silk lining of a contrasting color is visible.
Step 3
For the sidewalls, you will need 4 rectangles. The height is the same for all and is equal to the height of the box. The length of the two rectangles is equal to the length of the box, and the length of the other two is equal to its width. The sides can also be completely tied with single crochet stitches. Tie the sides of the cover in the same way.
Step 4
Start attaching the parts from the top of the sidewalls. Tie the top edge of each sidewall to the top rungs of the frame. Secure the thread, then attach a rectangle to the corresponding wire of the frame. Insert the hook from the wrong side under the first column of the last row, pull the working thread inside out to form a loop, grab the thread over the wire and pull it into the loop. Thus, tie the part to the second corner of the frame. Without breaking the threads, tie the next part and the rest.
Step 5
Tie side seams. Begin to fasten the parts from above. Secure the thread. Insert the hook from the side of one of the parts, first inside out, then through the other part again to the front side. Grab the working thread, pull it through both pieces, grab the thread on top of the wire, pull it through the loop and tighten. Make sure that the loops are not too tight. Thus, tie all the details of the actual box and lid.
Step 6
Tie the bottom base. Attach it in the same way as you fastened the sidewall parts together. The knit should be very even. For fastening parts, you can take a yarn of a contrasting color or thicker.
Step 7
Decorate the box if necessary. You can also attach a cover. This can be done in different ways - for example, if there is a plastic spring from a common notebook or an eyelet from the door of a small cabinet. The loop can be simply sewn on. Pull the spring through one side of the lid and the corresponding side of the box. It can be a long spring or one or two short ones. It is better to stretch the short one in the center.
