Left Handed Crocheting
Actually, there is not much to tell.
Everyone seems to make a big deal about it, but I have never had a problem. Well, ok, maybe one or two.
To actually learn to crochet, you can go through my website like the righties do. All my instructions are written for both right and left handed people. The instructions say nothing of the hand that you are using. So, you have the same advantages as a right-handed person.
Learning from a right-handed person is somewhat easy. Copy what they are doing. Mirror them and their movements.
The patterns can be confusing. I have been working on a cardigan. (for folks who don't know, that is a button up sweater) When I made the right sleeve, it turned out to really be the left. So, when I made the left sleeve it was the what?
That's right, the right sleeve. Just follow the pattern in your own hand. It'll be fine.
I did have a problem learning the front and back loop. My stitches did not look the same as the book's stitches. However, the front loop is facing you and the back loop is on the back part of the loops. OOHHH how difficult.
Any questions, feel free to e-mail me. I love helping people learn to crochet. |
