Crochet Slip Stitch
Crochet slip stitch is a very useful and simple stitch. It isn't used to make a fabric but is often used in more complex stitches and also as a joining stitch. It can also be used to work along an edge to get from one place to another without breaking off the yarn
Instructions
Joining 2 edges together to work in a round using slip stitch
First work one row
Bring the 2 edges together
Insert the hook into the first stitch of the row
Hook the yarn and pull it through
Do NOT hook the yarn again. Continue to pull the yarn through the loop on the hook
If you want to continue working in a round simply make a turning chain, turn your work and continue to work the next row. Make a slip stitch into the first stitch of each row as before.
This method of working in a round is very useful if you want to avoid too many sewn seams
