Put the yoyo on the ground.
Cut string where your bellybutton is.
Tie a loop.
Make a slip knot by threading the string through the loop.
Hope this helped!

The tying the loop part is like the first step when tying a shoe.

For the tying of the loop, just take the loop and tie a regular knot with it.

Just gonna clear up what the others said:
1. Cut your string
2. Make a knot in the string
3. Take the end of the string and thread that into the inside of the knot
4. TIghten Knot
5. Make slip Knot
This may take actual practice, because the knot can easily come looses and fly off your finger. Just make sure the slipknot is nicely wrapped on your finger and you should be good to go.

I find that a normal slipknot loop slides too easy on my finger, and I end up having to realign it too much. I do something much simpler: just tie a simple knot, untwist the string to make a loop at the end, pull the string through that to make a slipknot.
