Continuous JAYG by Hooked by Robin
Linen stitch border by Blossom crochet
Granny strap from The Hex Tote by Alice Merlino

HPCKHC yardage subtraction/yarn held double

Pink wool handspun 300m/100g: 157,5 / 2 = 78,75 yards

Yellow-orange border: (41,4 + 44,8)/2 =43,1 yards

Handles

Followed the granny strap tutorial, link above. On the 3rd round I crocheted with cotton yarn and a smaller hook around the strap to prevent too much stretching. Continued with patterns round 3 on top of the cotton yarn round

Weight

Bag weighs 281 g pre assembly
Blanket totals 1001 g
