You sound have 7 stitches between corners and a square shape

Repeat row 2 as long as you wish your strap to be. I made 56 repeats

Construction

Using a 4 mm hook and single crochet stitches, join the strap to the squares, insert your hook on both right sides of the square and the strap, pull through, yo, and pull through both loops.

Join 3 sides of the squares to leave one side open.

Secure the yarn, weave in the ends, and cut the yarn.
