Counting your stitches - crochet slip stitch

Hello everyone !

I can never get my stitch count right. Ill explain !
When I crochet rounds that are closed by a slip stitch (round blanket for example), I never know whether I have to:
- Make the first stitch in the same stitch as the slip stitch
- Make the last stitch in the last stitch of the round, or the one just before (because the last one is supposed to be the slip stitch, so if Im not mistaking, Ill have an extra stitch if I use it as the last stitch?)

I hope my question is clear enough ! ;)


Thank you !

You don count the slip stitch, this is a extra stich to join and dont count for the rest of the work ;)

So if I understand you well, I have to do the first stitch of the round in the stitch after the one in which I did the slip stitch? And then slip stitch in the last stitch of the row (which must not be worked into).
Is that right?

Because I used to think the slip stitch had to be done in the first stitch of the next round...
