Left Hand Crochet - How to Crochet 101 - Left Hand Triple Crochet

[thebookworm05]

This would have been soooo helpful when I was eight! I had to learn to crochet backwards from a right-handed instruction booklet.

i started learning to crochet yesterday... i know i need practice but, i don't know which video i'm supposed to watch first!

[tjw1963]

@PoweredByFajitas The crochet chain is a good video to watch first

[maggieofHawaii]

ok, so basically it's like double, but instead of putting one loop over in the beginning you put two. right?

[tjw1963]

@maggieofHawaii yes, that is correct. I have wrapped the yarn around the hook up to 10 times when working with crochet thread.

i didn't understand it :(

[tjw1963]

@Cassiopia012 I sent you the beginner lefty playlist

[Cassiopia012]

@tjw1963 Thanks! i hope it helps, and and, what's the size of your thread? mine's 10 and i can't do anything only the chain :(

[tjw1963]

@Cassiopia012 The yarn I am using is 4 ply yarn. You can use size 10 and it will work the same way.

Thanks so much for taking the time to make these tutorials! It's so great someone thought of us poor lefties and made our lives a bit easier :)

[tjw1963]

@TheSapsorrow I am happy that you are learning and to include tutorials for the lefty!

Thanks so much! This is fabulous. I'm usually pretty good at flipping instructions from right-handedness but crochet has been difficult. So thanks! Also very handy for seeing the clear difference between single/hd/double and treble.

[tjw1963]

@span24 You are welcome! :)

Thank you so much! I am the only left handed person in my family. Both mom and aunt couldn't show me. The books I read really doesn't help but your video has helped me SOOOOOO much. Thank you for taking the time to show us lefties how to crochet. Do you have a website?

[adinaduke]

Thanks so very much for taking the time to make and share these beginner videos for lefties. The three books I bought were useless, but i feel like a pro after watching a few of your videos. The slow-mo is key--what a great idea. I'm so impressed and grateful.

[tjw1963]

I learned to crochet by watching your videos, but I am left-handed so I just did everything the opposite. =D

[tjw1963]

It is great to hear from lefty's that have been successful. I have heard from a few that were having a difficult time so I thought some of the basics might be helpful. Thanks for the comment.

[mizukeh]
