1 Slip Stitch into the 2nd Chain from the hook.

How to Make the Slip Stitch....?? Here it is....!!:-

1. Insert your crochet hook into the stitch where you want to make the slip stitch.

How to Make the Back Loop Slip Stitch....?? Here it is....!!:-

A Back Loop Slip Stitch (BLO Sl St) is worked the same way as a regular slip stitch, except you insert your hook into only the back loop of the stitch instead of under both loops. 

Locate the Back Loop:-

Look at the top of the next stitch. You'll see two loops that form a "V":-

• Front Loop (FL): The loop closest to you.
• Back Loop (BL): The loop farthest away from you.

1. Insert your hook under only the back loop of the next stitch.
