Holding the hook in your favoured hand place this onto the hook.
Pull the slip knot so it is loosely on the hook.
Loop the wool around the hook
Pull the slip knot so it comes off of the hook leaving the second loop in place.
Loop around the hook and slip off the loop continue in this way until you have made the length of chain specified in.
