How to Crochet a Slip Stitch - Beginner Course: Lesson #12

[@christinahall7432]

Hi, Just wanted to say I love your videos. My grandma had started to teach me to crochet before she passed away and since no one else in my family knew how to crochet I gave up on learning. I'm an extremely visual learner and learning from books just didn't cut it. I love how simple and to the point your videos are and they really helped me continue with learning to crochet. I just finished your beginner series and am now about to make my sister a baby blanket for her baby shower. Thanks so much for creating these.

[@milcycat7285]

Christina Hall : same with me---I'm a visual learner too. I bought a lot of books about how to crochet but all those don't work for me because I learn much effectively through watching how it is done rather than reading the instructions.

Christina Hall oh I know I am a total beginner and I'm trying to make a beanie for my baby cousins baptism

No wonder my beanies were growing even after I stopped increasing! I thought the slip stitch and single crochet were the same lol

[@kennie727]

This is so incredibly helpful for beginners. I truly appreciate your clear voice and that you use such contrasting colours between your yard and hook. I always find myself coming back to you.

This helped loads thanks. I’m following a TikTok tutorial for a top and just wanted to double check

I am so glad you find this video useful...and I agree that circles are great for dolls!!

[@exorealkings5309]

can i ask the first part was to form a double stitch first before doing slip stitch? sorry for my english

[@jmulderscully]

Hello Crochet Guru! I just wanted to thank you for posting all of these tutorials. I honestly used your videos to teach myself how to crochet. You are very clear in your descriptions, you repeat steps when necessary, and you go slow. Thank you so much for all of your help!

[@CrochetGuru]

Jennifer Mulder I am really glad you liked my videos and thank you a ton for the comments!

[@rebeccabourched1249]

Your lessons are incredibly clear to understand first time around. Thank you so much!!

[@Mayonasium]

I've been trying to teach myself how to crochet, but most of the other lessons I've found have been much too fast for me to follow. It turns out that I've been doing single crochets as slip stitches this whole time and still had projects mostly turning out! Ha ha. I can't wait to see how they come out now that I know how to do the stitches properly. Many thanks!

[@CrochetGuru]

No problem Rich... I had the same problem. Try holding your yarn and hook hand further apart and concentrate on letting the yarn flow more loosely through your hands. It's tricky but you'll get it!

[@Nova_Bovine]

I love you used the double crochet so that it was easy to see. I haavent done the SL st in a while and totally had a moment lol

[@KeroCake]

Hey Bobbi! Just want to say a big THANK YOU for your videos!! I've learned a lot and am so excited! Your explain things slowly and clearly which is super helpful. I'll definitely use your channel as a reference for learning new stitches moving forward :)

[@jilliantoombs6975]

This is the best slip stitch tutorial I have come across so far. Thank you very much! This whole series has been very helpful. I like the facts about the stitches you give in each lesson as well, very informative.

[@Siriah]

Thanks for your great video series! I've been using it to teach myself how to crochet and your clear explanations and demonstrations have been very helpful.

[@barbarashaffer5379]

Thank you, I have done many, but for some reason I thought I had forgotten. Love your videos,😊 Thanks again. Barbara

Hello Bobby Thomson, you teach well! This is a great series to learn the very basics of crochet, and I just did it. Now, I would like to crochet all night long, doing my first little thing in crochet :) Thanks a lot !!

[@CrochetGuru]

+Natya d'Avelino I am so glad you like this series and it means a lot that you let me know how it's working for you!

[@kimberlytate2623]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO! I LIKE HOW YOU EXPLAIN THE CROCHET INSTRUCTIONS!🙏🏻💞

[@CrochetGuru]

Hi Rich... a couple of things that may be happening is that your tension may be getting tighter as you work. That is really common when you start crocheting. Another possibility is that you may be missing stitches. So to fix this make sure your hold on your yarn and hook stays the same throughout your work... and count your stitches after every row to make sure you have the right amount. If this isn't it let me know and I will help you out some more with this!

[@CricutWithHanin]

Got this and the triple stitches on the first try, thanks to YOU! 🙏🏽✨

[@pagelivingbeautifully8252]

Really helped me to finish my first beanie cap! Great instructions! 👌😊 Thank you for the informative video.

I'm actually just finishing up my first baby hat. I ended up with more stitches than you had but it still looks okay. Your instructions were very easy to follow.

[@CamilleGG451]

New to your channel and agree with the other commenters- your instructions are really nice and clear! Subcribed 😁. One thing I'm baffled by, is when a pattern calls for a slip stitch all the way across then I can't figure out what you're supposed to go into on the next row bcuz that slip stitch row is now so thick and sort of "roof-shaped" if you will, that I can't figure out which part of that thing I'm now supposed to go into! No idea if this makes sense... Any thoughts? TIA!

[@HUM101Final-OfirLondon]

Thank you so much for this! I could only find tuts on using this to join so I was so confused when a pattern said to do 20 😂

[@erinkirbysmith4158]

A single crochet is when you yarn over before pulling it thru the loops at the end. The slip stitch, you don't yarn over, you just pull the loop that you pulled thru your chain, into the one that was already on your hook. So, only two loops on your hook, 3 loops for the single crochet. :)

Same I was just thinking this when I watched this haha

[@heatherweaver2756]

To continue growing the circle, do you just continue going around with this stitch from here?

Hi when making a slip stitch does it make a difference to go under one loop or under two loops?

[@madil9975]

hi gru i love this series u shou;;d do one with kniting

[@1053Carla]

When crocheting. In the round and you slip stitch in last stitch to join that row, is that slip stitch counted as your stitches that were to be done for that row? For some reason I am having a brain fart on this, could you help me? Thank you!

Hi! I have a question: One pattern I'm using says "sl st over 2 sts" or "sl st over 16 sts" for the 2 sts, sl st into the 2nd stitch from the hook made sense, but 16 sts obviously doesn't work, am I supposed to sl st in each st for 16 sts down? Thank you!

Hey there, I just started working about a week ago and I find much enjoyment in this. One big problem that I have that I just cant stand is when I SC and get to the end of a row I will chain 1 turn my work. Lets say I get 20 rows done. I look at my work and it is bowing in to create a triangle.. I just cant seem to get anything squared up. Please help ? Rich

Half double crochet: a double crochet but you pussied out halfway through. slip stitch: a single crochet but you pussied out halfway through. I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Also, in SC when I start the first row if I go underneath one loop instead of two loops my work ends up different than if I start the first row going under two loops could you tell me why that's happens?

[@CrochetGuru]

Hi Samantha.. when you crochet only under one loop you create lines in your work.. the two loops makes a cleaner neater look!

[@mariafagerlie24]

Thanks!! Very helpful.

[@jeanninebrown414]

Was wondering if you could help me with something. I have a pattern that reads "chain 16" - this part I understand but the next step has me totally confused as it reads "then ch 2 in the last stitch from the hook" - I have no idea on how to do this, can you help?

[@chocolateabutterflies5902]

I think it means count back two stiches so basically stich 14 x

Do not feel bad I can not do it either

[@oliviashaw7919]

Hi, once again, very useful video. I have just one question, though. When making a circle, do you slip stitch into the slipknot or into the last chain? Thank you so much for any help

[@CrochetGuru]

Hi Olivia... you would usually slip stitch into the first chain that you made! I hope that helps!
