The slip stitch (sl st) is essential for finishing your crochet projects neatly and securely. While it may be the simplest stitch, it plays a crucial role in keeping your work together and giving it a polished, professional look. Since the slip stitch doesn’t add any height, it’s perfect for joining pieces or closing rounds without creating bumps or uneven edges.

How to Finish Your Amigurumi Project

🔒 Securing Your Work: The slip stitch locks everything in place, ensuring your hard work doesn’t unravel over time.

✂️ Fastening Off: After your final slip stitch, fasten off by cutting the yarn and pulling it through the last loop to secure everything in place.

🪡 Weaving in Loose Ends: To complete your project, weave in any leftover yarn tails. This not only hides the yarn ends but also tightens your stitches, giving your project a clean and tidy finish.
