Slip Knot
/
A slip knot creates a secure, adjustable starting loop on your hook. It’s the first step in most crochet projects because it anchors your yarn and allows you to begin your chain without it unraveling.
1
Cross the yarn
Take your yarn and make a cross, placing the working yarn (the yarn attached to the ball) underneath the end of yarn
2
Pull working yarn through loop
Grab the working yarn and pull it through the loop created by the cross.
3
Tighten the loop
Gently pull the working yarn to tighten the loop around your hook, creating a small adjustable loop.
4
Insert hook and secure
Insert your hook into the loop and pull the working yarn through to close the loop onto the hook.
Don’t make the loop too tight on your hook. This can make it hard to work into.
