Hi Nicole, you can start with a long chain, where the length would depend on how long you want your box. You'll crochet around the chain, and put the "3 sc" in each corner, while placing 1 sc in all the other stitches. If you're a Premium Pattern Member, you can download the Box of Chocolates Crochet Pattern where there's a pattern for a rectangle box.

How would you elongate this in to a rectangular box?

Hi Alex, you would make the top the same way you made the bottom and body, but with a shorter body. Here's pattern of a small box with a top if you would like to use it: Crochet Pattern: Box

My friend collects odds and ends and keeps them in weird containers. I have already made her a circle basket, and i want to make her a square one. I’ve made the bottom and body but how do i make the top look square too?

Hi Inge, Rounds 1 – 8 will make a flat square. Then rounds 9 – 23 will make the sides of the cube. Then rounds 24 – 31 will close the cube making the last square in the cube. Try it out and let me know which round you get stuck on.

I don’t get how to get a cube out of that pattern – I can only make circles :-S

Thanks for posting this. Ever since I discovered amigurumi, I’ve been crocheting in the round a lot and this method of making a cube is a lot quicker and seamless than crocheting 4 squares and stitching them together. I’m going to make companion cubes from the game Portal using this method.

No problem! It’s my pleasure.
