4. Work another double crochet in the same chain.
5. Double crochet in the next 8 chains.
6. In the last chain, make 5 double crochets. This will start to turn your work so you can work on the opposite side.

9. Slip stitch into the third chain of the initial chain 3 to complete this first round.

3. Repeat that pattern (2 half-double crochets in the next stitch) once more.

Finish the Sole:

• Weave in your ends with a yarn needle.

Strap:

1. Join yarn with a slip stitch about 6 stitches up from the sole's midpoint.
2. Chain 10.
3. Slip stitch to the centre hole on the flip-flop; ensure you're catching a front post to secure the strap.
4. Chain 10 again.
5. Slip stitch to the opposite side of the strap.
6. Slip stitch up each chain on the strap to reinforce it.

Connecting Soles:

1. Place the two soles together.
2. Slip stitch around the edges to join them until you reach the top.
3. To create an optional opening for Chapstick before the loop, slip stitch only in one of the soles two times.
4. Chain 10 to create a loop for the keychain.
5. Slip stitch into the same space, and then into the next 2 spaces on just one of the soles if you want to keep the opening.
6. After the loop, continue slip stitching both soles together again until you reach the beginning.

Finish:

• Weave in any remaining loose ends.
• Attach a keychain ring through the loop.

Optional Chapstick Opening:

• If you created an opening for Chapstick, make sure it's the size you want. If not, adjust by connecting the two soles as needed.
