I have used grey and black yarn, filling, a thin magnet, a hip-flask 10 x 10 cm.
Bottom:
r 1: ch 18, 1 sc in 2nd from hook, 14 sc, ch 1. Turn (17)
r 2-24: 17sc, ch 1. Turn (17)
r 25: Now lets crochet around the edge on 3 sides.
1 sc on the edge in every row down the first longside = 24 sc.
17 sc on the short side and 24 sc up the last longside.
Ch 1 and turn. (65)
r 26: 65 sc in the backloop. Ch 1 and turn. (65)
r 27-29: 65 sc but now in both loops on the previous row. Ch 1 and turn. (65)
Cut the yarn.
Top:
r 1: Count up 24 stitshes and begin with ch1 in backloop on the 25th on the right side when you have the downside of the bottom facing you (look at the picture below).
1 sc in the same stitch, 16 sc in the backloops. Ch 1 and turn. (17)
r 2-24: 17 sc, ch 1 and turn. (17)
r 25: 17 sc in the backloop. Ch 1 and turn. (17)
r 26-28: 17 sc, Ch 1 and turn. (17)
r 29: 17 sc in the backloop, ch 1 and turn. (17)
r 30-35: 17 sc, ch 1 and turn. (17)
Cut the yarn and sew the bottom sides to the top so it becomes a pocket with a fold over the flask.
Botten = Bottom
Lock = Top
fm = sc
v = r
25e m = 25th stitch
sy fast fram till hit = Sew to this point
Now its time to make the high part, turret, of the tank.
Turret:
r 1: ch 13, 1 sc in 2nd from the hook, 11 sc. Ch 1 and turn. (12)
r 2-11: 12 sc, ch 1 and turn. (12)
r 12: Now we crochet around the edge of the square but this time around all 4 sides.
1 sc on the edge in every row down the first side = 11 sc.
12 sc on the next side and 11 sc up the last side. Don't torn!
Continue with row 13.
r 13-17: ch 1, 1 sc in the backloop in every stitch. End with a ss. (34)
Cut the yarn and sew the turret to the tank. Remember to fill the turret.
Barrel:
r 1: ch 6 and close the ring with a sc.
r 2-12: Continue to make 1 sc in every stitch in around. (6)
Cut the yarn and sew the barrel to the tank turret.
Stuff the barrel slightly.
Tracks: Make 2 in black yarn.
Begin to crochet through the edge that are on the sides of the bottom part of the tank.
22 sc on the longsides and 3 across the short sides. (50)
r 2-3: 1 sc in every stitch. (50)
Cut the yarn and end off.
Make the same on the other side.
Wheels: Make 10 in gray yarn.
r 1: 6 sc around a magic loop. (6)
r 2: 2 sc in every stitch. (12)
Fasten off and cut the yarn.
Sew 5 wheels together in a row.
Put the wheel-row into the tracks and sew them in to place.
I sewd a thin magnet on to the roof of the turret so i can ceep my needles there but you dont have to do this if you dont want to.
The hatch i sewd on the left side was madelike this:
r 1: 6 sc around a magic loop. (6)
r 2: 2 sc in every stitch. (12)
r 3: *2 sc in same, 1 sc*, repeat between ** (18)

Put in the hip-flask and fold the lid over it and tuck it in.
