Simple & Sensational™ - Slip Stitch Crochet Tutorial

Thanks. It does make a nice dense fabric which should work well with a strong (even rough) yarn for making a carryall.

I Love your video! thank you for making the fabric , other vids show just a small example of what the pattern is leaving us to wonder what the stitch would look like as a fabric . The great thing about your tutorial... (there are many nice factors of course ) The great thing is how dense the fabric is or how the fabric will behave which for me is perfect for the bag i want to make so i can carry my yarn in when i travel. so thanks again. We love you. God bless you.

Thanks for writing. I hope I can help others learn some basic stitches and techniques so they can create some great projects to use and wear.

Thank you so very much. You taught me the slip stitch!

well. for some reason, the slip stitch confused me, as i did not know where to put the hook. i saw somewhere saying to put the hook in the back loop. is that correct, or just another way to do the slip stitch? thanks for this video!!!!

[tanisgalik]

@bjbear5103 It's just another way to do the slip stitch. There are 3 loops to use - the top loop, the bottom loop and the back loop. The top and back loop are usually used for the first row. Then they switch to the top 2 loops of the stitch previously made for following rows.

[tanisgalik]

@tanisgalik In addition, you can choose to use the back loop in the first row so it will create a double-chain edge which is often used in many patterns (using any crochet stitch) to create a double-chain edge along the bottom edge. This way it will match the top edge - as in crocheting a scarf. Working a finishing row around the scarf is not necessary because both edges will match and look finished as is.

I have been crocheting for a little over a month now and recently I got a book from the library to try to learn some new stitches. ... needless to say i needed a visual tool. This video was so easy to follow and actually made it easier for me to finish off a row and begin a new one. The book does this confusing step where i had to " turn the piece. Insert your hook through both loops at the first stitch from the previous row." WHAT? a simple single chain works perfectly. TY
