Slip Stitch (sl st) — crochet stitch tutorial
Joins rounds, travels across stitches without adding height, and makes invisible seams and surface lines.
UK terminology: slip stitch (ss)
How to work it
- Insert the hook into the next stitch.
- Yarn over and pull the loop straight through both the stitch and the loop on your hook.
- One slip stitch made — almost no height added.
Tips
- Work slip stitches loosely or the edge of a bag will pucker.
