Learning the slip stitch a great thing for knitters to incorporate into their projects. This stitch is quite literally “slipping” a stitch to the other needle!
You can use this along with other stitches to a make texture or add shaping to a piece of knitting. Check out the Linen Stitch for a good example of this stitch in action!
Let’s get started!
Things you’ll need:
-
Yarn of choice
-
Needles of choice
Notes:
-
To make knit items a bit more straight, you can slip the first stitch of every row that you knit!
Prep Step!
Make a slip knot and cast-on as many stitches as you’d like.
(10 or more works best if you want lots of practice!)

Step 1
From the right side to the left, insert your free needle into the first loop of the first stitch on your active needle.
Free needle: needle with no stitches
Active needle: needle with stitches

Step 2
Pull, or “Slip”, the stitch off of the active needle.

Great job!
