Tutorial: Slip-Stitch & Foundation Chain

Here's a quick tutorial on how to make a slip stitch (the first circle of yarn you put on your hook to start your project.

And a second tutorial on how to crochet a foundation chain for your project! When I was learning, there were three things I considered:

1. Take yarn over the back of the hook to the front.

2. Slip the first loop over the hook and the yarn in the hook nook!

3. Keep tension as equal as possible. 

Don't make your loops too loose (gappy!) or too tight (can't work back into them). Practise chaining to get comfortable with the manipulation of the crochet hook and tension. Happy hooking!
