Thank you so much! I was taught by right handed people and nothing I have tried to crochet has looked good at all. One video and my work has drramaticly improved. I can’t wait to get the single stitch down and move on to different stitches
Thanks so much for the fantastic video! You make it so easy to follow. I actually bought a book for left-handed crochet and it wasn’t half as clear as your instructions. I’m delighted that you took the time to make these videos. I’m going to work along with all of them..
yay!!! my friend can finally learn to crochet. i had a hard time teaching him how to do it right handed. i’m glad you posted this video. it helps a lot.
It is really unfortunate for someone to say something like that.
1) If you understand written instructions, they will work for both left and right hand. If specifics are mentioned, like “Insert your hook to the right” you will need to keep in mind to “Insert your hook to the left”.
2) If you follow symbol instructions, you can copy the pattern, reverse the pattern so it goes to the right.
Once you learn the basic stitches, it will all get easier from there.
I took a class last night and the instructor basically told me I would have to learn right handed. She said it would be impossible to follow patterns left handed. So glad to see that it’s just as easy to do left handed!
Thank you Teresa,
Right handed friends can show me until they are blue in the face but you make things really clear.
Not got beyond the chain yet but confident I can make that shrug now

Thanks so much for the left handed tutorials. I started to learn from a book and thought right handed felt more comfortable but then I watched this video and decided to try it left handed (since I’m a leftie!) and I am having a lot more success. Thanks so much.
You are pulling the yarn through each loop of the chain. This is the yarn that you hold with your opposite hand. Each stitch is a series of loops making stitches or pattern stitches with design elements. Each stitch you do could turn in to a knot at any point if you are not careful.
How she is PULLING THRU is the main technique of crochet: you will have a length of yarn leading to your ball of yarn. Put the hook thru one loop that you make with your hands, use the hook to CATCH that length of yarn and that is what you pull thru: it will make a loop which is COMING OUT of the first loop.
I have been watching this for two hours and I still can’t figure it out. When you stick the hook through the chain, what are you pulling through? And how do you pull the loops without knotting it?
