This pattern requires a small quantity of dk yarn, and is worked with two lengths of yarn at the same time.

A very tight tension is required to achieve a rigid result.

I recommend using a full length metal hook with a comfortable grip handle (not half hook/half handle as these can snap under pressure).

The base and the lid are worked in continuous rounds.

Available in UK and US crochet terms.

Easily holds a £1 coin.

For a larger size; increase yarn weight and hook size.
