Today I am sharing a slip stitch tutorial for the beginner.  The slip stitch is the shortest of the crochet stitches and is used in many patterns.  Because of its height it is almost invisible and is used to get from one spot to another without being noticed.  In most patterns when you change colors you use this stitch to join a new color.  It also make a very nice edging to any project.  The abbreviation for the slip stitch is “sl st”.  If you need a crochet abbreviations chart check out this POST
