Learning how to crochet a slip knot is easy! Promise!

This tutorial will show you how to create a slip knot which is the beginning step of most crochet patterns. After you master this technique be sure to check out my crochet classroom for even more stitch tutorials!

How to make a slip knot in crochet

There are a few methods in crochet to form a slip knot.

I will highlight two ways to make a slip knot with video tutorials below.

Keep on reading!

When you start a crochet pattern it will usually begin with a slip knot on your hook but it can also begin without a hook.

Be sure to take a look at both methods of forming a knot so that you can begin your crochet projects with the way that is easiest for you.

Knowing how to slip knot will set you up for success when you learn how to chain in crochet too!

What You’ll Need To Tie a Slip Knot

You will need yarn and a crochet hook.

Tulip Crochet Hooks can be found on Amazon or Joann’s Craft Stores
Vanna’s Choice Yarn can be found at Lionbrand.com

Yarn

I recommend for beginner crocheters to use an easy-to-use yarn such as Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand or Brava Worsted by Knit Picks. These yarns are both 100% acrylic medium weight yarns that hold up well to use.

Crochet Hook

The package or sleeve on most yarns will have a recommended hook size. Medium weight yarn works best with the following crochet hook sizes:

  • 5.5 mm (I-9)
  • 6.5 mm (K-10.5)

You can learn more about medium weight yarn, find other patterns using medium weight yarn, and the hook sizes that are recommended for this weight of yarn here on EC.
