Creating Loops:

Count 7 stitches, skip them, and slip stitch into the 8th stitch to form a loop.
Repeat the process to create 6 loops around.

Connecting Loops:

After finishing the 6 loops, slip stitch into the base stitch where you started chaining.

Adding New Yarn & More Loops:

Pick any loop and attach new yarn.
Make sure loops are centered and not skewed.
Make 4 single crochets on the top of each loop to connect them.
Continue around for 48 stitches.

Next Rounds:

After finishing the loops and connecting them, perform another round of 48 single crochets.
Follow with a round of 48 double crochets.
Do not tighten the slip stitch at the end of this round as you'll need it open for later.

Creating Waves for the Strap:

Perform 10 slip stitches followed by 5 half double crochets in the next stitch for a wave peak.
Slip stitch into the next stitch, then continue with slip stitches for about 10 stitches, followed by another 5 half double crochets into the next stitch for another wave.
The waves will act as attachment points for the strap.
