Did I mention that all my yarn craft stuff has moved to a new IKEA KALLAX unit? So excited that I can play around organising my supplies, and can get to them all easily! IKEA also make DRÖNA storage boxes that fit the unit exactly. They come in lots of different colours and some prints, but, well, they’re just not woolly enough. So here’s my experiment in making a crocheted  DRÖNA cover.

The covered box still fits in the unit. Phew.

Close up of the front.

Left a slot that lines up with the fabric handle on the box.

This crochet has been blocked, but it’s still a teeny bit wobbly.

The buttons are positioned to tension the fabric around the box, and annoyingly they don’t line up exactly. Bettter luck next time.

I even had my first attempt at blocking, and on acrylic yarn, too. After a bit of googling I ended up using a steam iron on a medium heat, first hovering it over the crochet, and then dabbing it on gently. Beware – it is possible to destroy acrylic doing this if the iron is too hot. I am using very chunky yarn here.

The DRÖNA jumper will be in the shop soon!
