GAUGE:
10 single crochet = 4 in. (10 cm) with 2 strands of yarn held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STRAP WRAP
With 1 strand each of A and B held together, make a slip knot. Holding the strands across top of flip flop strap, insert hook under strap and yarn over, creating 2 loops on hook, yarn over again and pull strands through both loops - single crochet around strap made.
Continue working until strap is covered.
