Final Rows for Front Panel:

Back Panel & Connecting Chains:
- Work a mirror of the front panel adjustments for the back panel.
- To connect panels, make chains as calculated based on your total shell row count from the front panel.
- Begin connecting double crochet stitches and shell stitches across the chains to form the connecting piece between the front and back panels.
Final Edging & Straps:
- Once panels are connected, work single crochet stitches around the entire piece for edging.
- For straps, chain a length of 120 or more (to fit), slip stitch back along the chain, then continue with single crochet.
Completion:
- Finish off by securing and weaving in ends.
- Optionally, add a bead at the end of each strap for decoration.
