Crochet 101 - How To Make A Slip Knot

Here is how you do the basic chain, you are going to grab your string and put it in your hand like so. This is how you do a slipknot to start your project.

You are going to wrap it around your finger, your pointer finger twice, leaving the straggler which I called loosened hanging down. You are going to use your thumb and your nasty finger to pinch that and using the other part of your hand, you are going to hold it tight, well pretty well snug in this hand.

So now you'll have the two left on your finger. You are going to grab the farthest, closest to the part of this hand first. You are going to lift it up and put over top the other piece leaving it toward the end of your finger like so and using this finger to create separation. You are just going reach over it and pull the second string up and the other string will bounce back and you are going pull this over your finger and that it droop and there you go, this is your first slip stitch.

Now what you are going to do now is just slip your needle into underneath and pull it off your finger and just pull a snug.
