I used Red Heart Super Saver in 'Pretty' and an H hook.

This is crocheted in the round and you don't join at the end of each round. Stitch markers will come in handy for marking the beginning of each round.

Chain 2, sc 6 in 2^nd chain from hook or 6 sc into magic ring (6)

Round 1, 2 sc into each st (12 st)

Round 2, *2 sc into first st, sc into next st* (18 st)

Round 3, sc into front loops only around (18 st)

Round 4, sc into each stitch

Round 5-? sc into each st around until you reach the top of the container or height you desire

Once you reach the height you want, FO

For the lid:

Chain 2, sc 6 st in 2^nd chain from hook or 6 sc into magic ring (6 st)

Round 1, 2 sc in each st around (12 st)

Round 2, *2 sc into first st, sc into next st* (18 st)

Round 3, *2 sc into first st, sc into next 2 st* (24 st)

Round 4, sc into front loops only in each st (24 st)

Round 5-6, sc into each st (24 st)

For the last row/round you will be creating the tab on the lid to connect to the main body

At the end of Round 6, *chain 1 and turn and sc into 4 st* repeat this step until you have a tab large enough to attach the lid to the main body with whip stitch.

I attached a chain of 10 to make the button loop and then I attached a button to the front.
