Update (4/14/17): I wrote up a blog post about these (and two new ones) and I wrote up how I did the handle, which is different from the pattern.

Project didn’t take long, even with making two. I’ve never done “reverse single crochet” on purpose, so that’s an interesting new technique.

I used scraps and realized I was cutting it close, so I added stripes in both cases (to match and they both would have run out!).
