The right side of a crochet piece

There’s a so-called right and wrong side of crochet. That sounds a bit harsh, so another way of thinking about it is that there’s a front and back side to your work. Here’s a picture of the same pattern, with the wrong side versus the right side facing out.

The wrong side has horizontal bars throughout the piece (left). The right side looks like a bunch of Vs (right).

Watch the video below for a demonstration on how to tell the right and wrong side of your crochet piece:

The right side in crochet (step-by-step with photos)

1. Make sure the wrong side is facing you. The wrong side has horizontal bars.

2. Push the middle of the piece until it flips inside out.

3. The right side will now be facing you, but your piece will be upside down. To make it easier to keep crocheting

4. Rotate your piece until the open edge is on top of the piece, and the loop for the hook is on the side of the circle closest to you. The outside of your piece should now look like it’s made of vertical Vs.
