Another box cover - meant for boxes with stuff to light a fire.

Cast on 24 stitches and knit the following pattern:

Round 1: 1p, knit 2 tog, yo, yo, ssk, 1p repeat four times
Round 2: 1p, 2 knit, 1p, 1 knit, 1p repeat four times
Round 3: 1p, 4 knit, 1p repeat four times
Round 4: like round 3

Use the cast-on tail to pull the stitches at the bottom at bit together, and knit until the cover is long enough :-)
