Shoulder Strap:

Repeat row 2 until approx. 7 inches long then work 1 Sc decrease each end every other row until 5 stitches remain.
Ch 1, turn. Crochet even on 5 sts (5 sts + Ch 1) for end of strap that threads into the other end of buckle.

I had to rework this portion of the strap several times to get the fit and drop just right to fit a 5 year old child. It is best to leave the yarn attached for the strap and have a fitting session to get the length right for the strap.

I also chained a small band that I slipped over the strap to hold the tail of the strap in place after it went through the buckle.
