2 Slip your hook under the loop you dropped behind your circle. 3 Pull on the two ends to tighten. Bring it just up to the hook, but not too tight. There, now you've completed the slip knot. Next you have to make your foundation chain, which is the basis of every project, even Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace.
Some people wind it around the little finger as well.
Also, you should hold the stitches close to the hook with your thumb and middle finger. Here is a picture of a foundation chain consisting of 8 chains. Now you want to know how and where to go into that chain to crochet your first row. All rights reserved.
