If you don't have the original leather strap handy you can easily knit a loop to hang it up with. We would recommend picking up 8 stitches at the end of your ribbing and knitting a tab long enough to reach the inside bottom ribbing with a little room up the top. Then all you have to do is casting off and sewing the end flat on the inside.
