Then, continue work with circle rows on these 104 sts of the main pattern to 25 cm height from bottom. In the next circle row, work in the following way for handle self-belt: * 10 single crochets, 3 chain sts, skip 3 sts*; repeat from * to *. Then, work again on all 104 sts as you did before self-belt. In 30 cm from bottom, make the last circle row and finish your work with slip st.

Make 7 chain sts with brown yarn and circle them in the ring with the help of 1 slip st, make 7 single crochets in the ring, then, work with the main pattern in circle rows on 7 single crochets to 2 cm m length. Draw the handle through self-belt twice, make a knot on ends.
