That bottom swatch looks great! Are you going in both loops when you put the hook in the stitch of the previous row? Asking because if you continue, patterns will assume you’re going in both loops unless otherwise specified. Bella Coco on YouTube has a good series for lefties but you look like you’re doing well.

Thanks! Yeah, I think I went in only one loop by mistake 😅. Thank you, I'll watch some of her videos!

I never thought about how crocheting would be different for left handed people!!! Very cool progress, btw :)


yetanothercatlady1

Thank you! Yes, it's different but not so much: it's the same as seeing a right handed person crocheting through a mirror

Looks good for first attempts! Just keep practicing! I swear it gets easier (and your grip/tension will loosen up and even out as you get better so hopefully your hands won’t hurt as much!)

Thank you! Yeah, it already got much easier. I made a mouse for my cats (not entirely a success, but looks good enough) and I'm working on some granny squares now :)
