How to slip stitch in crochet (step-by-step with photos)
1. Insert the hook under the top loops of the next
stitch.
2. Yarn over. Pull the yarn through the stitch and
loop on hook to draw up a loop. There should be
one loop left on the hook.
3. There should be two loops on the hook.
4. Yarn over. Pull the yarn through both loops on
the hook. There should be one loop left on the hook.
TIP
If your hook gets stuck when you pull through loops, try:
- Making looser loops
- Checking if you’ve caught some extra yarn fibers in the hook
- Pulling your hook in a direction more parallel to your work, to prevent your hook from getting snagged on something
- Rotating the tip of your hook to face the bottom of your piece as you pull it through the loops
