Hdc in each of the next 36 chains. You’ll have two chains left.

Repeat the same pattern: 2 hdc in each of the first two backside chains. Place a stitch marker in the last hdc made.
Hdc in the next 36 backside chains.
Finish with 2 hdc in each of the final two chains. Add a stitch marker to the first of the four hdc just made.
Join the round with a slip stitch to the first hdc. You should now have 88 stitches.

Stitch counts: 36 between each marker, and 8 at each rounded end (including the marked stitch).

Measure 1 inch in from each end and mark with stitch markers.
Fold the strap in half and single crochet the folded ends together between the markers to form a tube.
