Common Uses of Slip Stitch
Pro Tips for Success & Pinterest Styling
Keep it Loose: Slip stitches naturally tighten up. Use a hook one size larger if you are crocheting a slipstitch ribbed project to maintain elasticity.
Pinterest Share: A visual showing how to join a round with a slip stitch is highly helpful for beginners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does a slip stitch count as a stitch in a row?
A: When used for joining or texture, yes. When used to join rounds, the join slip stitch does not count as a stitch in the next round’s count.
Q: Why can’t I get my hook into my slip stitches?
A: You are crocheting them too tightly! Relax your grip and lift the loop slightly before completing the stitch.
