How to Slip Stitch (sl st)

A slip stitch is an essential tool for getting started in crochet. You will often see slip stitches used as a joining stitch. If you are working a project in the round, you will often join the end of the round to the firs stitch of the round with a slip stitch. Slip Stitches can also be worked into chains or stitches from the previous row. A slip stitch has no height, so in those cases, it is often used to create shaping in a project.

Making a Slip stitch instructions:
- First Insert hook in indicated stitch or space
