How To: Slip Knot and Chain Stitch for Beginners | Step-by-Step Crochet Tutorial

Are you just getting started with crochet? Are you a complete beginner to the craft?

In today's tutorial I am showing you the Slip Knot and Chain Stitch: two fundamental crochet skills that you will need to learn when you first start to crochet. These two skills are needed to start FLAT projects, such as blankets, scarves and other wearables.

The equivalent to the 'cast on' in knitting, in this video I am going to show you three simple techniques to form the slip knot, and then how to create the chain stitch for your future crochet projects. I have done this at a beginner's pace, so hopefully this slow motion crochet tutorial is helpful.

Let me know down in the comments if you have any questions and if there are any specific beginner's tutorials you would like to see.
