This is a fun pattern that is made by making slip stitches. In this variation, you simply work under both loops. It is very important to work super loose, because otherwise it is almost impossible to get your hook under the 2 loops in the next round. Patterns 8 and 9 are variations on making slip stitches, in which you work under the loops in a different way.
Slip stitches are not really suitable for making large projects, because that will really take up a lot of time, but you can do smaller objects with them, especially if you use thicker yarn or when they are combined with other stitches.
Making slip stitches, and working in the setup, is shown extensively in the video of the crochet course.
