Crochet Terms (For Beginners) Starting Loop

Sometimes the terms used in crocheting books and tutorials can get confusing. And even when you know what the term is it's hard to figure out what you should be doing. Here I will post examples of the terms I come across with hopefully some clear examples that will help.

Starting Loop: 
This is the loop you make to start the project. Really simple this is just a slip knot. Here is a How To Video.

Real simple, you just take the starting piece of your yarn and lay it over the rest of your yarn. Pull the longer end of yarn through the hole and it should create a loop. Place your finger in the loop and pull so the slip knot is tight around your finger. Replace your finger with the crochet hook, making sure the hook part is going the same direction as the yarn connected to your ball. Pull tight to the hook and you're ready to crochet.
