The slip stitch, or “sl st” as it is commonly abbreviated, is one of the most basic stitches in crochet.  It can be used to work a row without adding any height, to close or complete a round, or to join to pieces (such as granny squares together).  It is simple to do and can be worked quickly.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Here we’ll work our slip stitch on a row.  Begin by inserting your hook into a stitch as shown below,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
