Notes
Tips for Making A Slip Stitch
- Slip stitches are usually worked loosely, so don't pull the yarn too tightly when making the stitch.
- If you are using slip stitches to join rounds of crochet, make use to slip stitch into the first stitch of the round, not the space that you used to start the round (unless specified in the pattern).
