In most knitting projects, the very first thing you’ll end up doing is the well-known and always welcome, slip knot.
This knot plays a key role in lots of yarn crafting projects, so let’s learn how to make one!
Things you’ll need:
-
Yarn of choice
-
Needles (or crochet hook) of choice
Notes:
-
If you need to start over, just pull on both ends of the yarn. You’ll see the knot “slip” and then unravel itself!
Step 1
Make a loop with your yarn. (Make sure the tail crosses on top!)

Step 2
Insert your hand into the loop from back to front.

Step 3
Grab the working end of the yarn and pull it through the loop.

Step 4
Put loop on a knitting or crochet hook and pull on the working yarn to tighten!

What do I do now?
Now that you’ve learned a primary step in knitting (and crocheting), you can learn how to cast stitches onto a needle!
