Learning how to make the slip knot is probably the first thing that you need to do. Interestingly there are various ways in which you can create a slip knot. The specific manner in which you do it will depend on the person you are learning it from or the person who is detailing the same in the book. The details that have been provided below are for making a slip knot for a right handed person.

Take the yarn and hold it between the thumb and index finger. At the same time you need to ensure that the yarn goes all over the index finger. The middle finger can be used to support the yarn if required. This is the right way in which you should hold the yarn. The next step is to know how to hold the hook. The hook should be held between the thumb and the index finger as well and the middle finger can be used for support. Make sure that you do not clench the hook to tightly because you want the movement to be smooth and flowing.

The hook should be inserted between in the loop that the yarn makes over your index finger. Twist the hook in order to make a loop and make sure that the lose loop is on the hook. As you twist, wrap the yarn on the crochet hook and pull it through the loop that you have just made. The end that has to be hooked should be the one that is attached to the ball of yarn. This makes a loose slip knot. Just pull it and tighten it to create your first slip knot.
