Most crochet projects begin with a slip knot on the hook, so this step is essential to master. This method just uses your fingers. Pull about six inches of yarn from your skein or ball. Wrap the yarn twice around the index finger of your less dominant hand, leaving about five inches hanging.
Pull the back loop on your index finger over the front loop. Now, pull the new back loop over your finger, keeping the other loop on your finger. Insert your hook into the loop and tighten slightly, not too snugly.
