Welcome back,

8-10 sc in each stitch around, join
11. Repeat round 7
12+ sc in each stitch around until desired length. (I did 5 rows)
end off and weave in ends

Straps, make 2
leaving a long tail for sewing, chain 11, sc in the second chain and each across (10) ch1, turn, sl st across, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Position your straps where you want them and sew to edge of top.
