Step 2 Learn the Slip Knot

Doobiechain3_large

This necklace is simply created from a series of chain stitches. For those wanting to learn to crochet, this is a super-easy way to learn the very first skill.

In order to create your chain stitch, you must first create a slip knot. A slip knot allows you to control the width of your first chain.

- First, wrap the strip around your finger once.

- Instead of inserting the end in the back of the loop as in a regular knot, insert it in the front, creating a pretzel shape

- Then, take your crochet hook and insert it through the front of the loop and behind the portion of the strip connected to the longer spool (not behind the end tail).

- With your crochet hook in place, grab both ends of your strip and pull to tighten.
