Cable CO 160 with 3.5mm circular needles. Continued knitting in round ribbing 2х2 for 1.5 cm.

After ribbing increased to 180 sts - on every 8th st kfb (20 times) with 4 mm circular needles.

St st for about 20 cm. After that I decreased ti 160 sts.

Used this BO after the ribbing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBMe3NTMYWs

I did not understand the crochet cast on, so I picked up the stitches instead.

Used I-cord for the straps with 3.5 dpns.
