Instructions

Make 167 (179) 193 chain sts with red-brown yarn and circle them in the ring with the help of 1 slip st. Continue work due to the colors order and work with the main pattern. Turn from circle row form left side line. Mark the central st as right side line and draw mark with work. For better shaping, decrease 9 x 4 sts in every 10^th row. For this, make the first and last 2 double crochets of circle row together for left side line and make marked st together with next double crochet together along right side line = 131 (143) 157 sts. In 103 cm = 108 circle rows from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

For straps, make 2 chains of each color thread of yarn for 48 cm long.
