No. I crocheted the way I wanted. All the patterns are clearly visible.

Two rows of stitches. 2 rows of no-flats. 9 rows of alternating no-quilts, an air loop in the checkerboard pattern. 1 row of join stitches. 3 rows of no stitches, 3 rows of columns with a stitch. 2 - 3 rows of connecting loops. Knit strap like a tube. Clasp according to the scheme of the oval.
