LEFT HANDED CROCHET: How to Crochet a Granny Square for absolute beginners| Bella Coco

[@taytaymarie92]

Hot tip- if you’re brand new watch on 0.5 speed!!! It was perfect! I’m brand new and I was able to do it after watching slowed down!!! And I paused and rewound a lot 😂❤

[@MyANNEHALEY]

Big help! Thanks!

[@ThyPhan94]

I've been an avid knitter for a couple of years, and I've tried to crochet but I always struggled for some reason, I realized its because I never watched any lefty tutorials. these tutorials have been a life saver. Thank you so much for taking your time to film these. I love how you don't fast forward anything and show us the whole process. I really like how you said not to worry if we still don't understand while crocheting, basically practice makes perfect! again, thank you so much for thees videos

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@kgarbo2018]

I am a very slow learner and get frustrated pretty easily so I'm very grateful for this video!!! As a lefty, it's great to not have to mirror things in my head (which I am bad at) and as an absolute beginner, I am SO grateful that you walked through every single stitch. The videos that speed up throw me off when I'm first learning. I must've rewound and rewatched sections of this video a dozen times before it clicked. Thank you for explaining and narrating every step!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome and well done for not giving up :)

[@ashleigh-jaynetite7277]

as a tip in general...if you find a crochet video that you want to try but it is right handed.... play it anyway and the click the website at the top.... keep it the same and just delete the words 'youtube' and swap it to 'mirrorthevideo' but keep the start and end of the web link the same..... then click after the com and enter.... it will load any video in a mirror formation so it appears leftie :D

[@no_below_5138]

Best.Tutorial.Ever. I love how to you don't exclude a single part. Its frustrating where tutorials underestimate how dim some of us are! perfect for dummies! new subscriber!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much I'm glad that it's been of help to you :)

[@spilltheactualtea]

I had been trying crochet, but found it so hard because all of the videos were right handed! I tried the granny square, and I did it! I am feeling so proud right now thank you Bella Coco!!!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome, however I do have a left handed version of this tutorial - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYSseZeHo7CMeMksi=6YP1UlGC3o0T3iqg :)

[@Anime_Weeeeeeb]

Omg, I can’t believe that you make them look easy most people usually don’t so I don’t have confidence to know that I can do it, but you just changed it , I got it on my first try being an absolute beginner I am genuinely impressed in myself

[@bellacococrochet]

Well done :)

[@camilapais2904]

Thanks a lot for lefties tutorial! Exceptionally clear, well filmed and beautiful! First time I've felt comfortable crocheting and actually moved forward in a project. Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@loriburdoocraig8091]

By FAR, you have the BEST videos! I started crochet during Covid and jumped right into intermediate stitches although I didn't know that. I hadn't worked a granny square - ever. After 8 tries, I gave up. Had a cocktail, ruminated on WHY in the WORLD I can't get this, had another cocktail. Went to bed. Got up, found your video - hangover gone the second I saw a SQUARE on my hook! You are the very cream of the crop. I LOVE the way you have the timed areas also. Since I'm not a beginner, I was able to skip over to the stuff that confused me. Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@alicejoyce7906]

Thank you for your left handed tutorials.

[@karenkhan3187]

Thank you very much for demonstrating how to crochet im left handed i still haven't perfected crocheting but i will continue practising until i achieved a granny square, i like how slow you are and you don't rush and explain clearly ....

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome. I'm glad you find the left handed ones useful x

[@hannahlemon7530]

Had to start over several times but I finally got the hang of it! Glad to have something productive to occupy my time now

[@bellacococrochet]

That's great just remember that crochet is all about practice and patience :)

[@samanthaclaire11]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these tutorials for lefties. I first tried crochet just two days ago watching your episodes for absolute beginners and tonight I have just finished my first granny square (4 rounds)! Proud as punch! :D I just want to keep going and going and make a huge granny blanket like my Nan used to. I could honestly listen to you crochet all day, you explain and show things so well. Your hints and tips have helped as well, playing with hook sizes and types of yarn has made a huge difference, so thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@leiawestland7540]

i watched 3 or 4 different videos to master a granny square. my late gma always wanted to show me but she was right handed & i left. i finally worked up the courage to get back into crocheting and stumbled across your video AND DID IT WITH EASE. will definitely be watching your videos & hoping to learn lots more. 😊

[@bellacococrochet]

Well done, I'm so glad that it has been of help to you :)

[@rosemarybullen8896]

Thanks to your clear video and commentary, after much unpicking of the work and much rewinding of the video I managed to complete a square. I never did get the hang of crochet when I was a child as my mum was right handed and in spite of her best efforts I just could not grasp it. I am inspired now to go on to something more complicated. Thank you.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome, I'm glad that this has helped you :)

[@katelynmasters3390]

This is going to sound silly, but you saved my granny squares. Following this tutorial as a leftie, my granny squares have never been more even, beautiful, and void of frustration. Thank you.

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@shawnakelley3376]

So glad you took the time to walk us left handers through it thoroughly

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@marshmallowk]

I have watched other granny square videos and this one is the most perfect one that is clear and not as awkward looking as other

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm glad that it has helped you :)

[@deepikamathur5566]

Hi Bella …. Just enjoyed every bit of the video crocheting with you …. I refreshed my crocheting skills after 23 years …. Very simple and easy to understand and work along … lots of love and wishes from India 🇮🇳🙏🏻

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm so glad it was helpful :)

[@ramonitar3628]

Thank you, Bella for doing this video I'm left handed and you're making it easier for us lefties God bless you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@sandylilley5753]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve really struggled with crochet, being a leftie, and your videos have enabled me to learn how to do it! I’ve wanted to make a granny square for ages, and now I can 😃

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@adelaideeharris]

I love that you do stuff left handed. As a beginner it is so helpful!

[@jandent8331]

Thank you, what a joy to be able to follow your clear instructions & thank you for not 'jumping ahead' as other tutorials have. It was a great help to have step by step instructions all the way through. I've just completed my first granny square age 53 😀

[@tocaxdawn1]

you should definitely make these types of videos for kids because not that many people explain it in a way you do so in my opinion you would be great at explaining it in ways that 10+ year olds would be able to understand. Thank you so much for your help as a kid and a leftie this really helped me improve and encouraged me to do crochet more often.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome, I'm glad that it has helped you :)

[@tocaxdawn1]

@@bellacococrochet omg i cant believe you replied i love your channel and someone as successful as you is just so incredible and amazing to me. I will always support you and your channel and your catalogs/book.

[@karenringer5995]

Well it's taken me so long to find a left handed teacher .my first 2 grannie squares. So excited 🎉

[@IhmMegan]

I attempted to watch many tutorials by different channels, but this one was the only one I found success with. The way you explain it was easy to understand, and I eventually made my first granny square with success. I'm planning on watching more of your tutorials to help me learn more. Thank you!!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome and well done for not giving up :)

[@HarmonyLawson]

Thank you for your videos! My grandma was avid with crocheting and knitting. She taught me a few basics before she died and I inherited a lot of her yarn. These left handed tutorials have helped me discover a new hobby. I wish I could show you my first granny square that ibattempted from a written tutorial from a different website versus the ones I'm doing now from your video instructions. My 1st granny square looks comical in comparison to the ones I'm doing now.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome and I am so glad that they have been of help to you :)

SO awesome to have a left-handed tutorial! 😁 I appreciate it!

[@sanctuarysharon6413]

I have tried other tutorials on here and not been able to get my head around them. My nan taught me how to knit when i was a child as she was the only other leftie lol had to wait until every sunday for her to help me. Sadly she is no longer with us. Have always wanted to crochet and thanks to your brilliant tutorial i can 😊. Yours made it easy. Thank you 🙏❤️

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@natalieseiwell8275]

I’m delighted to find this. I’m left-handed, and although I can use my right hand for a lot of things (I knit English-style with no problem), manipulating a crochet hook is not one of them. Thank you!

you are very welcome :)

Thank you! I’m a newbie and left handed crocheter and your videos are great. I made my first granny square alongside your video 🎉 I really appreciate your left handed videos!!

[@starshine5812]

thank you for this. i havent picked up a crochet hook in 20 years and only learned to make "worms" as a kid, so following right-handed tutorials was impossible. thanks to your video, i've picked this up in less than a day and am happily making granny squares :)

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@juliedean2007]

I am left handed and always wanted to learn crochet, but everyone else was right handed, so I gave up. I have now achieved the basics thanks to your tutorials. They are clear and easy to copy. Thank you for opening up a whole new world of crafting! Keep it up! 👍💗

[@MsMad4horses]

I’m ambidextrous I had to watch this just to understand certain things that just wasn’t explained for me doing it right handed and my daughter is left handed and I wanted her to learn a different skill and this has helped so I can teach her

Thanks for the left handed tutorials. I haven’t perfected it but still trying. My nan dose this and I wanted to try it myself but she is right handed so she can’t show me how to do it left handed. So I searched it up and you came up so I watched your tutorials and now I can kind of do it. Thank you so much for your help Bella. 5/5

You are very welcome, remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :)

As always a Brilliant, slow paced tutorial

[@wetbread8273]

you're tapped into an untapped market that DESPERATELY needed help: Left handed crochet. I'm really happy to see this. all the books i have are for righties and say things like "just hold the book to a mirror to reverse it" which is impracticle and not helpful.

Glad it was helpful :)

[@sabrinacandido7991]

I've been trying for ages to learn crochet, and being left handed it was practically impossible to find anyone to teach me on my way of seeing things. This is absolutely brilliant, very detailed, so much patient in demonstrating and pointing the exactly moments of struggle. It took me a lot of pausing and rewinding, but i did it! Thank you Coco!

I watched round 1 and remade my square probably 4 times before I finally understood everything 😅 a very good tutorial, but I had to Google to see how the pattern was supposed to look to understand everything. Now my brain needs a break before I continue with the other rounds 😊

So frustrating. Any help or links etc yiu recommend. I’ll be very grateful. I have tried you tube video TMTC for the starburst abs or hexagon or 8 point star. Ty

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you've found my tutorials helpful 😊 If you feel confident reading patterns perhaps you will find the written instructions easier to understand rather than watching a video tutorial. I have lots of pattern available on my blog that you can use in conjunction with a video 😊

[@jacquelinehallauer9868]

I have a general question --- for every stitch after the chain do you go under the two loops of the V?

[@bellacococrochet]

You should insert your hook under both loops when working your stitches unless otherwise directed (some patterns call for working through the front or back loop only, for example) 😊 However, it's a bit different for granny squares as you're working your stitches into the space between clusters, instead of into the actual stitches themselves.

[@elizagoseyun1694]

Thank you. I understand this much better
