Hi Crystal, the knot is used to make the first loop on your hook. So once you make the slip knot, you're going to but the loop you made onto your hook like in the last picture on this tutorial. From there you're ready to start crochet! You'll probably want to learn the chain stitch after you make your slip knot. Here's a link to that tutorial: How to Crochet: Chain (ch)

hi, I just bought the “I taught myself to crochet” book at hobby lobby today and I am so confused, tried the slips knot but what do I do after the knot, do I pull the thread through the knot and keep going? I’m just starting today so any advice is welcome.

Hi Beatrice, that explanation is confusing for me as well. I think it is trying to tell you to make a cluster. A cluster is a group of stitches that are joined at the top. Here is how you do it: (yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over pull through 2 loops on hook) 4 times. There should now be 5 loops on your hook. Then yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on your hook. Here is a similar picture tutorials of How to Crochet: Double Crochet Decrease, the only difference is that you repeat the instructions within the ( ) more times for a cluster.

Could you help me to explain what this is “dc in dc holding last lp on hook, dc in next 3 dc holding last lp of each on hook (5 lps on hook), yo and draw through all lps on hook (Cluster st made” is this a description of a Cluster st? In that case what is a Cluster st? I have problem to translate it to Swedish and I have not found any picture of it. Thanks for a great website!
