To start any project the first thing you need to do is get your
yarn on to the hook. This is done by creationg a slip knot.
Slip Knot
-
- First pull the yarn strand from the center of the ball.
- Lay the yarn down in a straight line
- Fold the yarn over to ceate a loop, leaving about 5" to 6" from the end (the tail).
- Fold the yarn over once again, making a pretzel shape.
- Lift up the center yarn and pull up, while you hold the remainder of the yarn.
- Insert your hook into the loop you have created.
- Gently pull the tail yarn to tighten the loop around the hook.
Remember - the slip knot does not count as a stitch.
