A slip knot is a fundamental element in crochet, serving as the starting point for most projects. It’s an adjustable loop that provides a foundation for the first stitch.

It’s versatile and easy to undo if needed, making it an essential skill for crocheters of all levels. Remember to position the slip knot on your crochet hook before starting your stitches.
