How to Crochet a Slip Knot Ring

Leave a 4 to 6 inch yarn tail and create a large slip knot ring.
Slip stitch once into the ring.
Chain 1, 2, 3 or 4 chains (1=single crochet, 2=half double crochet, 3=double crochet and 4=treble crochet).
Follow the instructions for Round 1 of your project, making each stitch into the ring you created.
Turn your project over and sew in the yarn tail to tighten and close the slip knot ring.
Follow the pattern as written.

You can use this method to start your projects that are crocheted in rounds, instead of using a magic circle (magic ring or double magic ring).

Watch my quick video demonstration to see how it’s done.
