Right Side vs Wrong Side

Right handed. For lefties, mirror each image.

As you start, the piece will naturally want to form inside-out. By round 2~4, flip it right side out. You should always be crocheting with the working side close to you, not across the far side as shown.

Look closely at each side of the fabric.

For my patterns, this will always be considered the right side out. Being inside-out can alter the intended shape, and it’ll look different from the pattern.

There’s some crocheters that work with this side out, but it’s usually in a smaller yarn or thread. Check the pattern Read Me if you aren’t sure!

But wait! There’s one other case where you do work inside-out! When working with eyelash or fuzzy yarns, the majority of the fuzz comes out on the “wrong” side.

This stuff can be a pain to work with, but looks very cool! The “wrong” side in this case is the only side where you can see any stitches at all. I like to work inside-out as long as possible so I can count anything, then flip it fuzzy side out before stuffing.
