Thank you so much for this left handed tutorial!! Everyone always tells me to 'just mirror it' but it's so hard when you're an absolute beginner and trying to learn something completely new at the same time!
this was my exact same experience when i tried to learn from my mom. i'm left-handed and she's right-handed and she'd always get frustrated when i got confused by her telling me to just mirror it. not very easy to translate it in your head when you're not even sure what its supposed to look like in the first place!
My 85 year old mum who is also left handed tried teaching me to crochet and had really hard time doing it. She had to teach herself as no one could teach her either, this was years ago before the invention of computers and internet. It’s almost as if crocheting was invented only for right handed people. Told her I’ll go to TH-cam and see if there’s a tutorial. Thank you so much for this! Everything looks “normal” to me with you doing it left handed. When I see right handed people crocheting, it looks awkward and uncomfortable.
Thank you so much for this! As a child I was made to feel so awkward for being a leftie and that I would never be able to crochet. Tonight in 10 minutes I have made 3 rows and am feeling really proud of myself 😁
I am so happy to have found someone left handed. It was so hard to learn as a kid with my mom being right handed. These videos are so easy to follow. Thank you so much for your videos
This is so refreshing! Ppl have no idea how hard this can be being left handed! I suffered with right handed desks in school! Etc! I wanted to crochet for years but gave up because I just couldn’t wrap my mind around using my right hand 😂 im getting yarn and supplies today!
This is the first time I have watched this done for left hand. As a lefty this makes soooo… much more sense! Your instruction is wonderful. Thank you so much ! Looking forward to using this to learn a new craft!
fabulous, yours is the clearest most easy video to follow slow and many repeats to watch so i actually feel like i am able too crochet my infinity scarf now thx so much 😊
Thank you for making this left handed Tutorial! I was relearning how to crochet since I did very little as a kid (it was difficult because my right handed sister tried teaching me). Thought I could try again and this video makes so much sense to me.
I’ve just decided to learn to crochet and wouldn’t even know where to begin if I hadn’t found your left handed video’s, thank you! I can’t wait to learn over the next few days 😬💕
I'm so late, but thank you so much for this! In a fashion class we're learning crochet, yet the teacher is right handed. Though she sent me these videos and I can really understand, you're very clear with your instructions
Ugh, it all finally makes sense! I’ve been trying to learn crotchet for about a year now and kept giving up because I couldn’t learn the most basic parts and it took watching your videos to realize that it’s because I was trying to learn right handed lessons as a cripplingly left handed person. This is a game changer
Thank you! It's taken quite a few attempts over a couple of years and finally I am beginning to crochet thanks to you. Being left handed just throws people off, even if the teacher is a well accomplished crocheter. It's quite funny until it becomes quite sad. I've cast on double stitches with the aim to make a cloth and after 3 rows I am confident I'll have this completed tonight. Thanks again, from Australia
I am right handed and tried to teach my left handed friend how to crochet. Your video was our saving grace. Thank you so much for making such great detailed videos.
my son wants a toothless crochet toy and I did this a long time ago and I forgot how been doing this all day over and over again and I think I finally got it down for now. also thanks for doing it left handed and being clear every step of the way.
I am so grateful for these videos! I am a lefty and have found most things difficult! These videos, however are slow and explain every step throughly. I first learned how to crochet as a girl guide, and my troop leader was also left handed! I lost the ability to crochet over the years and have recently decided to refresh my skills. Thank you for your helpful videos!!
Brilliant that you teach left handed and at a slow speed so I can follow you. This is my first go using vidios,as I have tried using books without success I am feeling chuffed that I am able so far to make a reasonable pattern I will practice lots more before embarking on making something functual
So glad I found your videos. I’m very new to crochet 🧶. I’m also left handed, so these tutorials are very helpful. Thank you so much for making these videos. I hope to get the hang of it soon!
Thank you so so much! I got some crotchet stuff for Christmas and my granny tried teaching me, but as I am a lefty I couldn’t get it right. I also received a crotchet book and tried to follow it but it was also for right handed people! Then I went on TH-cam and found this!! Thank you so much for taking your time to help everyone to be able to do crotchet and not only right handed people!! It really helped me because you explain everything very clearly so I really appreciate it. I subscribed btw and hopefully I will learn to do crotchet! Ana xx
An hour ago I was freaking out bc my first ever crochet kit had all the instructions for right-handed people and unadapted for total beginners. Thanks to your videos now it all makes sense to me bc it's left-handed and made much easier. Now I can't wait to get used to chrochetting and I feel like it's not so hard !
This tutorial is absolutely amazing! I have been trying to learn how to crochet for the longest time but always had problems learning due to lefty issues. Following this video is the first time I have ever been able to finish anything other than a chain with any successful results. I was a little confused about when to throw in the stitch before flipping it to start a new row (mine seemed to lose the defined edges), but besides this, I had no questions at all. Everything was well explained and gave plenty of time to grasp the concept (with multiple reps) before moving on. Thank you so much for completing these. I can't wait to go watch the other ones!
You are very welcome, remember to count count count, its really important to make sure that you are not loosing or picking up stitches. Good luck with your crochet journey :)
Thank you for making a series for lefties! I had a stroke 5 years ago and was right handed. I have adapted my knitting but could not find clear instructions on crochet for left. My right hand has some movement so I think I can manage holding the yarn! I’m excited the try this out!
I have tried SO many times to learn to crochet and until your video, I just couldn’t get it. Something about this one just made it click so thank you SO much for sharing your talent.
I tried following another one that was not left handed and just confused the bejeezes out of myself! Thankful that I came across your tutorials for left handers! Yay! Yay! Yay! Thanks so much. Very easy and clear to follow! 😊
My sisters tried to teach me to crochet years ago but they are both right handed so i never could figure things out. Now that I've been knitting for a few years i wanted to try crochet again, finding a left handed crafter is awesome. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Thank you so much! I can't believe I have actually managed some crotchet for the first time ever. Very well explained. I am looking forward to learning more with your videos.
i know this is five years old but this was so simple that i was able to catch on within a couple hours, thank you so much for looking out for us lefties!!!
I never thought I can learn crochet by my own due to my bad coordination and the fact that I am left handed. You prove me wrong :) I just made my first 3 lines or crochet, yes they look horrible, yes some parts are more loose than others but I made it! You are amazing
Thank you so much. I have tried to learn how to count stitches and how I’m supposed to turn my work so many times and this is the first video that I could tell what you were talking about every single step!
thank you! I gave up trying to crocheting and knitting because I could never find a good understanding lefty video but thankfully you make this and I hope soon I will make my own creations!!
I am almost 80 and have made up my own stitches, not always successful, since I tried to learn from right-hander in my twenties. Now I can learn the right way for lefties. Thank you.
i am very grateful for this! i am not left handed but i need to learn how to crochet left handed, because i am trying to teach my left handed friend to crochet and it wont be very helpful for her for me to show her how to right handed crochet. thank you!
left hand and a visual of the stitches!! I have had a hard time finding an actual visual of which loops to continue the crochet after the first row. I have been crocheting into the back loop, or the front loop, and neither looked right!! And now I see it's because I needed to include both. THANK YOU!!
I've always wanted to learn and now I have a little swatch proving I can do it as a left handed person. I'm so happy to be able to do it thank you thank you thank ypu
You are very welcome, tension is one of the hardest parts of crochet to get right, practice and patience is the key so the more you do the easier it will become :)
You have no idea how much I appreciate the video flip!! I was watching the right handed one, then called me sister and she’s right handed. I felt at a lost and she said just search left handed. Me:🤦🏾♀️ Then I see you did this one. THANK YOU!!
I'm mixed handed due to which I write and eat using my right hand but do most of my other activities like chopping, playing sports and others by my left hand. Have been looking into crocheting recently but the first time I held the needle in my right hand I freaked out. So thank you so much for this left handed tutorial. I have been able to do a few stitches as of now and I know practice will make me better😊😊 thanks again!
This is a fantastic tutorial series. It's so often difficult to find yarn-craft tutorials that really show the difficult part clearly but you manage it, and it's extra helpful not to have to imagine it in mirror image as a lefty. Thank you!
@@bellacococrochet Unfortunately, my health issues are incredibly painful and chronic rather than fatal. I'll spend the rest of my life in this pain with no relief and no hope that an early passing would come and free me from my pain.
Thank you do muchhhhhhh for posting this left handed videos it really helps me it seem as miracle cause i am trying to learn crochet from 1 month but its so hard coz all videos are right handed and my teacher is also right handed she said you cant learn coz you are lefty start doing it with right hand i was so broken and its to hard for me to do it with right hand thank. You so much and i have a question - my crochet doesnt seem to be in line it goes uneven double crochet again thankyou so much i wish i could do a voice note to thank you😅😇😇
You're so welcome, I'm really happy to hear that I've helped you - you absolutely can learn to crochet as a lefty and many crochet patterns are beginning to be written for both left and right handedness 😊 Is it possible you're missing out some stitches by mistake? It can be easy to do this as a beginner but you will get better at learning where you should be inserting your hook the more you practise. Using thicker yarn such as aran weight can help 😊
Love your tutorials! Episode one I think I did pretty good. Just spent around 15 minutes trying this part and failed a couple of times but i will be trying again tomorrow with hopefully better luck! 😅🥰😊
Thank you so much Bella!! This video really helped me out for my assignment and as I'm left handed, my teacher used to scold me for not doing crochet well, but after his video she'd loved my work. Can you make a video for left handed too? 💖💖
I have a series of left handed tutorials (including this one) for beginners. I also have many more left handed tutorials once you get the basics. Good luck with your journey :)
Im a left hander I taught myself how to crochet right handed because i thought it be easier as it more common. If only i knew of left handed crochet. Its a little awkward doing left handed now but once i get my muscle memory id be able to crochet left and right. I can write with both hands but more left dominant so be a piece of cake.
So I'm right handed, but I crochet left handed. I tried right handed 3 times and it felt wrong and weird. (I'm also a knitter.) But this was great thank you so much. It no longer looks backwards ans weird.
I can knit but I have never crocheted so I've got my crochet stick and yarn coming tomorrow I'm just gonna try a small simple blanket as my testerso I can get used to this I've knitted for blankets my kids have got them all but I want to try crocheting this seems pretty simple to do famous last words lol I see how I go hopefully I d smash it in one go just seems like the technique slightly different but simple enough thanks
@@bellacococrochet I how to. Crochet so I could teach the right handed girls but not the lefties who really tried. I will learn how using your video. It’s uncomfortable using my left hand. Some people say I should teach them like a right handed person because the patterns are meant for right handed people, what do you think? Thanks for your response. I have subscribed to your channel and liked it.
I'm back! As a left handed person, thank you so much for your videos again! I have a question. Can I use this stitch to make a laptop pouch? How do I tie the edges if I do so? Thank you, Bella Coco!
You're welcome! 😊 Yes, you could use this for a laptop pouch. You can simply sew the sides together, or work a row of double crochet along them (I would do this with the right sides facing together so you can flip it the right way afterwards, with the seams hidden inside.
Great video! I am a righty. I wanted to know if I could crochet with my left hand. Ha! The hardest part for me is controlling the yarn with my dominant right hand. LOL!🙄
Thank you so much for making these videos, I had been wanting to learn how to crochet for years and my mom and grandma tried teaching me, but they’re both right-handed and I’m a lefty so I didn’t really get it. I just have one question; do you count the slipknot as a stitch in the chain and if so, why make the chain 11 stitches long and not 10?
I'm glad my tutorial has helped you 😊 To make a double crochet (a US single) you should insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull through (which will give you two loops on the hook) and then yarn over and pull through both loops.
Ahh this is a lifesaver as a beginner lefty! I had a quick question, does the initial row of chains count as a row that would need to be turned afterwards, or does the turning only begin after that first row of dc?
You don’t need to turn after your chains as your hook is already in the correct position to work along them; you just need to turn at the end of the row once you’ve began working actual stitches 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to make left handed tutorials. I really appreciate it.
You're very welcome 🙂
I love that you make left handed videos too it’s a huge help!
You're very welcome :)

Yes! I’m just beginning….like today, and being left handed can make crafts like this very difficult.

Quick hint: Your mom can teach you things by doing it in front of a mirror. (That's how my left handed grandma taught my mom to write)
Yes. You are so right. I've had people try teaching me but it was awkward. I finally think I'm learning because of this video.
Thank you so much, I’m a lefty and I have the hardest time trying to learn right handed...

You describe it too nicely...huge thanks to you✌✌
My pleasure 😊
Thank you so much i have always wanted to learn and now i can!
You are very welcome and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become, good luck :)
Thank you!
Im a left hander I taught myself how to crochet right handed because i thought it be easier as it more common. If only i knew of left handed crochet. Its a little awkward doing left handed now but once i get my muscle memory id be able to crochet left and right. I can write with both hands but more left dominant so be a piece of cake.
omggg i thought this would've been hard! my hand feels a little cramped but i did it first try 😼
Well done and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become :)
So I'm right handed, but I crochet left handed. I tried right handed 3 times and it felt wrong and weird. (I'm also a knitter.) But this was great thank you so much. It no longer looks backwards ans weird.
I'm glad it was of help, I've heard quite a few people say that they are right handed but crochet left handed :)
my highest record is 4 stitches and I'm proud of that.
I’m having a hard time with the double loops. Any advice?
same :(
Looking at it from the top helped me! Make sure the hook goes through the entire 'v', and not just one half.
Yay another lefty « hooks « up.
This looks so fun! I cant wait to start!
I can knit but I have never crocheted so I've got my crochet stick and yarn coming tomorrow I'm just gonna try a small simple blanket as my testerso I can get used to this I've knitted for blankets my kids have got them all but I want to try crocheting this seems pretty simple to do famous last words lol I see how I go hopefully I d smash it in one go just seems like the technique slightly different but simple enough thanks
This video is even better for me. Thank you!
You're welcome :)
I’m teaching young girls to crochet but two are left handed. I will try to learn do crochet using this method but it isn’t easy. Thanks
I do both left and right handed tutorials :)
@@bellacococrochet I how to. Crochet so I could teach the right handed girls but not the lefties who really tried. I will learn how using your video. It’s uncomfortable using my left hand. Some people say I should teach them like a right handed person because the patterns are meant for right handed people, what do you think?
Thanks for your response. I have subscribed to your channel and liked it.
Very simple.
Thank you for the left handed video. So hard to try follow a right handed one
And only one I have found that goes slow enough to follow
You are very welcome :)
I'm back! As a left handed person, thank you so much for your videos again! I have a question. Can I use this stitch to make a laptop pouch? How do I tie the edges if I do so? Thank you, Bella Coco!
You're welcome! 😊 Yes, you could use this for a laptop pouch. You can simply sew the sides together, or work a row of double crochet along them (I would do this with the right sides facing together so you can flip it the right way afterwards, with the seams hidden inside.
@@bellacococrochet Yay! Thank you so much! ♥
Thanks so much for making this video
You're very welcome :)
Super video thank you
You're very welcome :)
Thank you😊 my right hand is sprained and out of commission.
Oh no I hope it's better soon :)
Righty trying to learn lefty ways. I think I can.
Let me know how you get on :)
Thank you so much for making this very helpful video!!! :)
You're very welcome :)
Great video!
I am a righty.
I wanted to know if I could crochet with my left hand.
Ha! The hardest part for me is controlling the yarn with my dominant right hand. LOL!🙄
I do have a right handed version of this tutorial :)
@@bellacococrochet I know, I have checked out a few of them over the years.
Waiting for Video 3, and 4 in this series .. Thanks
They will be on their way soon all of them will be live by Friday :)
Thank you so much for making these videos, I had been wanting to learn how to crochet for years and my mom and grandma tried teaching me, but they’re both right-handed and I’m a lefty so I didn’t really get it. I just have one question; do you count the slipknot as a stitch in the chain and if so, why make the chain 11 stitches long and not 10?
By the way, this is the best left-handed tutorial I have come across 😁
You are very welcome. The slip knot does not count as a chain :)
this helped so much, but i’m just having a hard time on what stitch to take off after you start crocheting and you have 3 loops on
I'm glad my tutorial has helped you 😊 To make a double crochet (a US single) you should insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull through (which will give you two loops on the hook) and then yarn over and pull through both loops.
Ahh this is a lifesaver as a beginner lefty! I had a quick question, does the initial row of chains count as a row that would need to be turned afterwards, or does the turning only begin after that first row of dc?
You don’t need to turn after your chains as your hook is already in the correct position to work along them; you just need to turn at the end of the row once you’ve began working actual stitches 😊
Thank you so much
You are very welcome :)
It is beautiful😘😚👌👍
Thank you 😊
