Lunar Noonar Loops

The slip knot is the most common method to begin a crochet project (next to the magic circle), and can be easily undone if needed!

Here is how to make a slip knot with step-by-step instructions:

---

1. Lay the yarn flat with the tail end to the right and the working yarn off to the left

2. Pick up the yarn tail and move it up and to the left and on top of the working yarn

3. Grab the loop on the right and fold it over to the left on top of the working yarn and tail

4. You should now have this shape with the working yarn running through the center

5. Grab the working yarn in the spot from the previous step and pull it up and to the right

6. While holding the working yarn in place, pull the yarn tail with your other hand to tighten

7. You should now have a large loop with a knot. Here, I have the tail above the working yarn

8. Slip your hook into the loop, and pull the working yarn to tighten the slip knot around the hook

9. You have now created a slip knot and are ready to start your project!! YIPPEE !! ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡

Still not getting it?

Here is another way I like to quickly do a slip knot directly onto the hook:

1. Start with your crochet hook on top of the yarn, with the tail below it and the working yarn above it

2. Grab the working yarn and bring it over the hook and down next to the yarn tail

3. Move the working yarn underneath the yarn tail then up behind your hook like this

4. Move the working yarn down and over your crochet hook. Moving the yarn over the hook like this is called ‘yarning over’

5. Holding the hook, pull the working yarn through the loop and pull the yarn tail to tighten the knot

6. You have now created a slip knot and are ready to start your project!! YIPPEE !! ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡
