After 3 rounds continue with a thread in light red and a thread in sand 12 rounds crochet.

Continue crocheting with double thread in dark gray 3 rounds, then crochet with double thread in dark gray 133 sts, cut off a thread and replace with a light gray thread. Crochet 74 sts in light gray and dark gray, then continue crocheting with two light gray threads, but do not cut off the dark gray thread.

Sew on the threads and sew on both pocket handles with red thread.
Make 4 tassels (1x red, 1x dark gray and 2x colored): To do this, wind the thread around the back of the hand (or a cardboard of approx. 9 cm in height) until the desired thickness is reached.Bind the upper threads together, then cut open the lower loops. Wrap around all threads 1 cm from the point of intersection several times, fasten with a knot and then pull the ends through the winding with a needle and also hang as fringes.
