How to slip stitch under the last stitch?

[Hoomzan]

Hi,

I have a recipe, that tells me to "slip stitch under the last stitch"... I have no idea what that means. Can anyone elaborate?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the 'ville!  This sounds like something that might happen with a lace pattern, I've encountered this sort of thing in doily patterns.    For example it might tell you after a US DC, to chain 3 'down' and slip stitch in the 'base' of that same DC (in other words, into the same stitch the DC was made into), maybe slip stitch to another spot, and chain 3 'up' and resume...does this make sense? 

Another example, in a floral lace doily I made earlier this year had leaves branching off a stem where you chain x for part of the stem, make a 2 DC cluster in the 4th chain from the hook,  chain 3 and slip stitch into the same chain you made the other 2 DCs into--this makes a cluster that is made of 4 'functional' DCs, but made of a chain up, 2 DCS, and a chain down.

Not sure what pattern you are making.  It would help to distinguish what type of slip stitch is called for in your project.
