Border/Putting it together:
This is a bit confusing, but I have photos to help you understand what I'm saying here.
In 2nd color, Sc the side strip to the front, F/O.
Repeat with Back starting at row 18. Then sc up the side of the flap, placing 2 sc in 1st coner, sc in next 2, tie down piece (ch 16, slst back down ch, slst back into stitch you chained from), sc until there's 2 sts left, tie down piece, sc in next st, 2sc in last stitch, sc back down flap, slst into 1sc of joining back and side. F/O.
Carabiner Strap: In 1st or 2nd color, ch 5
Row 1-10: Repeat Rows 1-10 of Side Strip. F/O, set aside for now.
If using the 1st color, sc up both sides in 2nd color. If using 2nd color, just sc around the piece.
Side note: Make two of these if you want belt loops, instead. You may have to make this part longer if you wear a wide belt.
Last bit, I swear!
At two different points on the bottom trim of the front, join 2nd color, make a tie down piece, F/O, and weave in your ends.
Tada! You're done! Feel free to add velcro for extra closing power!
