The top is a giant granny square made with a small puff stitch instead of regular DC in each space. Pattern is as follows: <BR>Ch 6, join with a slst to form ring. <b>Round 1:</b> Work beg puff st, ch 2, *puff st, ch 2; rep from * 3 times, slst into first puff. <b>Round 2:</b> slst to corner space, [beg puff, ch 2, puff st] in corner, ch 1, *[puff st, ch 2, puff st] in next corner, ch 1; rep from * around. <b>Round 3:</b> slst to corner space, [beg puff, ch 2, puff st] in corner, ch 1, puff st in ch-1 space, ch 1, *[puff st, ch 2, puff st] in corner, ch 1, puff st in ch-1 space, ch 1; rep from * around. <BR>Continue as such, making [puff st, ch 2, puff st] in the corner spaces separated by a ch 1 and a puff stitch in each ch-1 space of the previous round. You're crocheting a granny square with puffs!<BR> If you do not feel comfortable with the puff stitch, crochet a regular granny square.
When square is as big as the top of your milk crate (overlapping the edge very slightly is OK), it's time to start the sides. Work 1 DC in each puff stitch and 2 DC in each chain space. Crochet rounds, changing color when you want until your crate cozy is as tall as your crate. Fasten off and weave in ends. <BR> As you can see, you can use pretty much any center-out square to make this pattern.
