Slip Stitches

You need to be comfortable with a least the single crochet stitch before you master this one.

Slip stitches are used to connect.  They don't show up in your piece.  They are almost invisble. 

Let's pratice by making a circle.

Make a slipknot.

Now chain stitch, oh, I don't know, 6 times.

Now to make a slip stitch, you stick your needle through chain number one.

Ok, now yarn over and pull it through the chain stitch AND the loop on your needle.

You should have one loop on your needle.

Slip stitch is just like the single crochet, expect after you yarn over (YO) and pull through, you don't stop and yo again.  You just keep on pulling through the loop on the needle. 

This is actually a very fundimental stitch.
