First off we learn how to do a slipknot:

You take the tail end of your yarn and wrap it around your index finger as on the screen shot from the video above.
Then put the crochet hook through the working end of the loop on your finger as per below screen shot.

Hook the tail end and pull it through the loop on your index finger, still pinching the tail between your thumb and index finger (see below two screen shots)


Slip the loop off your index finger whilst holding on to the tail end

You can pull the knot tight around your crochet hook using the tail end.
To create some chain stitches:
Put you crochet hook with the slipknot on it in your right hand and wrap the working yarn around your left index finger as per below screen shot.

Put the crochet hook under and through the working yarn on your index finger:

Hook the working yarn and pull it through the loop on your crochet hook:



You now have your first chain stitch completed!

Repeat the above steps to create a foundation of chain stitches:

And there you go!
I hope that you find this helpful.
Please have a wonderful day!
