We feature a lot of great stitches, tutorials and patterns here on Starting Chain, but we also like to provide resources for those who are new to crocheting (because we all know how great it is to crochet, and we want to spread the love)! We recently found this wonderful tutorial from New Stitch A Day that shows how to make a slip knot, one of the more common starting points for many projects. Check it out in the video below, and follow along with the written directions here!
