Learn how to tie a Slip Knot in just 5 easy steps. This knot variation allows you to quickly loosen the finished loop or tighten it back up when pulling on one strand.
My written instructions include close-up photos and video tutorials to demonstrate exactly how to tie one strand of rope, string, or yarn.
5 Easy Steps to Tie a Slip Knot
Step 1: Unravel your yarn ball a bit and select a place on your yarn strand where you will begin.
Step 2: With your working yarn that is attached to the yarn ball in your right hand, make a loop by placing the yarn from the right side sit atop the yarn tail on your left side.
Step 3: Hold this loop with between your left thumb and index finger.
Step 4: Take your working yarn (the strand that’s attached to the ball) and make another loop by pulling it through. Begin from the bottom of your first loop and bring it up through the top.
Step 5: Hold onto the knot base with your left hand then lightly pull up the loop with your right hand until it cinches.
Using Your Completed Slip Knot: You may now easily tighten your knot by pulling on the working yarn, or loosen it by pulling up from the loop.
And there you have a slip knot 🙂
