A slip knot is the most basic of all crochet knots and is typically used to begin a new project. It’s also handy for creating loops or joining two pieces of yarn together. In this beginner-level tutorial, I will show you how to do a regular slip knot in crochet but also how to tie a slip knot on your finger. This is going to be the core of this article. But while putting together this piece I thought that it would be beneficial to touch on 2 other simple topics somewhat related. I will show you how to crochet a slip stitch and how to tie a crochet end knot.

Before getting started, I’d like to remind you that I have quite a few crochet video tutorials for beginners that you can check:

TIP: always leave enough room in the loop so that hook can glide easily.

How do you tie a slip knot on your finger? 

  • To make a slip knot with your finger, point the first fingers like a gun and hold the end on the yarn from the bottom two fingers. 
  • After holding the yarn in the bottom two fingers, take the working end and make an X on your fingers. 
  • On the front side, you’ll get an X but on the back of your fingers, you’ll get two parallel lines.

  • When making a row of slip stitches, insert the hook in the very first chain from the hook. Remember you don’t need to make a chain to begin a slip stitch row. 
  • Draw up a loop and pull it through the first loop. The process remains the same for the entire row.

When at the end of the crochet row, cut off the yarn after leaving a 6-8 inches long thread. Now make a chain at the end of the row and pull the yarn through it. Give it a squeeze and you just made an end knot.

Hi, I’m Mahnoor Malik Awan, a Crocheter, artist, freelancer, and writer. Art & Craft have been my best buddy for as far as I can remember. I used to make clothes and write stories when playing with my dolls. I even tried to record a film with my camera phone at the age of 10, where I was the director, writer, producer at the same, along with making the dolls act. I love to crochet, there’s nothing that I haven’t tried with it; from home decor to amigurumi to clothes and much more. I still remember how I used to sleep all day after school and one day my Mom bought me a hook and a ball of yarn and dropped me at my neighbors. She said “No More Sleeping In Noon.” And drove off. I’m still grateful to her for making this decision for me. I live in Pakistan with My Parents and Siblings. My Love for Craft has Honoured me with the Title of Crocheter and Ghostwriter. The Two jobs that don’t feel like working at all.
