Working crochet left-handed is just as easy as working itright-handed. The methods for forming the stitches and holdingthe hook and yarn remain the same; you simply use your leftinstead of right hand. Patterns and instructions are generallywritten for right-handed people.

Therefore, remember to substitute left for right and vice versa.This is the only adjustment you will need to make. The easiestway to learn crochet if you're left-handed is to sit oppositeanother crocheter and mirror their movements.

If you're using a book for instruction, you can take theillustrations to a copiers and ask them to make transfer imagecopies. This flips the images over. If looking at diagrams onthe Internet, keep a mirror next to your monitor. Position it sothat you can view your monitor through it. The mirror will flipthe images to make them left hand interpreted. Alternately, usethe right click function on your mouse over the image.

Any image-editing program, like Windows Paint, will allow you toreverse diagrams before printing out by doing a "horizontalflip". Usually though, it can be easier to change the settingson your printer so that it reverse or mirror image prints.

Sometimes, you may have to take a few minutes to prepare ifyou're a left hander, but the amount of effort is minimal andwill save you hours that could be lost trying to figure out howto reverse instructions.
