How To Identify The Right Side Of Your Crochet?
Understanding the difference between the front (right side) and back (wrong side) of your crochet piece is an essential skill to master. Here is the side-by-side comparison of the same pattern, with the wrong side and the right side visible.
Note the horizontal bars across the piece showing the wrong side (left). The right side reveals a pattern of ‘V’s (right).
DETERMINING THE RIGHT SIDE FROM THE WRONG SIDE IN CROCHET (DETAILED WITH PICTURES)In circular crochet projects, your work naturally tends to curl in a direction that displays the wrong side. To adjust and make the right side visible, you need to:
Hold your work so that the wrong side, characterized by horizontal bars, is turned towards you.
Gently press the center of the piece to flip it inside out.
Now the right side faces you, but the piece is inverted. To make your further crochet work smoother .
Rotate your work so that the open edge is on the upper part of the piece, and the hoop for the hook is closest to you. You should observe the exterior of your work showcasing a vertical series of ‘V’s.
Grasping this simple technique will elevate your crochet work by ensuring that the intended side is always perfectly showcased.
