🎥 Watch

📋 Instructions

1. Hold your yarn in your non-dominant hand.
2. Make a loop crossing the working yarn over the tail. The tail is the section of the yarn attached to the end.
3. Pull the working yarn through the loop. The working yarn is the section of the yarn attached to the ball.
4. Place the knot on your hook, snug but sliding.

🔑 Key tips

• Pull snug, not tight. It should move freely on the hook.
• Practice making a few knots until it feels natural.

🏋️ Practice

• Make 3–5 slip knots in a row, placing each on the hook.

🎯 Goal to Aim For

You can make a slip knot confidently and place it on your hook with smooth tension.
