[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@alsoffi]

Over 50 lefty who never had the opportunity to learn crochet. I have now completed my 3rd granny square and am so excited to finish. So amazing what we can learn from each other. Big thank you, Bella!!

[@thenicolets]

Being the only left handed person in my family made it impossible to learn to crotchet, this is the best video ever, I have watched it over and over and over...I am on my second blanket now...thank you so much for this.... Power to the Lefties !!!

[@bellacococrochet]

Melisa Nicolet lol, I'm glad it helped xx

[@melissav7528]

Thank you SO much for doing left handed versions. I've tried learning to crochet so many times but could never get the hang of it when learning from a right handed person. I am so grateful to have found this!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are so welcome :)

[@andreacleary7035]

These tutorials are brilliant, I've tried to crochet since I was a kid but being left handed I found it too confusing especially being taught by right handed family. I was determined to learn to do granny squares, and I have thanks to you. I'll keep coming back to learn more techniques.....thank you 😊

[@mariestoves7653]

I know that pain. I learned by watching my mom via a mirror.

[@cal7923]

Very informative. Well filmed and your voice is really calming for the instructions. Thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@kellietawhiti6486]

Takes a lefty for a lefty to understand 🎉 instructions were easy and i completed my 1st square after 3 days trying #rightylogic

[@barbsreyes4892]

just made my first granny square!!! so happy,first time to do this thanks to you...

[@bellacococrochet]

barbs reyes Great! Thanks for watching x

[@ilserose]

I follow your tutorials religiously. The right handed granny square tutorial is how I started my first ever crochet project. Being left handed I worked it out not knowing that there is a left handed tutorial. From there I have learnt every pattern in both UK and US terms. I have done numerous projects and have visited many patterns and tutorials and I have to say that yours are the easiest to follow. Tutorial matches written patterns if given, camera is on point, you allow to pause and catch up, you explain the stitch pattern and also teach the stitch itself. Through what you have taught me, I can now read both UK and US patterns with ease. Through what you have taught me I have started my own little craft business and after a year of different projects, I am now receiving orders for the things I am making. Religiously learning, plenty of late nights and a lot of frogging and redoing, the hard work is paying off. Thank you. You opened up a different world for me. One I very much enjoy, because it leaves me both exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. (South Africa-Durban)

[@jimseele]

This really inspired my daughter to start crocheting. Now, she works with all of her heart to be the best and do the best thing. She is 13 years old, and is making hats and blankets for the premies at the hospitals all around the United States. Thank you so much.

[@fay732]

Finally someone who can teach me how to crochet! I'm a lefty and it's always been a passion for me to learn. My Mom tried to teach me when I was a teen but I wasn't patient enough. Thanks!!!

[@lauramcguinness1778]

This is an AMAZING tutorial I’m the absolute worst at crocheting and after many many tutorials and starting over like a million times I finally made a granny square! I’m so pleased 😁

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you and I'm glad it was of help to you :)

[@daraelise]

Thank you for this tutorial. It's nice to have left-handed crocheting tutorials out there, and I appreciate how slow and detailed your instructions were. I'll probably re-watch this video several times in the process of making a baby blanket for my friend. :) Oh, and I'm American, but I think "treble" crochet is the more appropriate term for this stitch!

[@bellacococrochet]

daraelise thanks for watching x

[@TEWAdventures]

He'ya!! This has been so helpful to me. I'm a 60+'r and crochet fluently with my right hand. well I'm leaning with my left so I can teach my lefty mother-in-law whose an 80+r. This video has helped me tremendously. Thanks!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@karenevans2594]

Thank you absolutly brilliant ... I am making my beauutiful Two year old grandaughter a 2020 Granny square blanket thanks to your calm voice and my concentration ...

You're very welcome and I'm sure your granddaughter will love and cherish it :)

[@motherearth5462]

I'm 62 years old. Your video is the easiest ever for me to understand. Been trying for 40+ years. Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@kimberlyrepcik7011]

I am so appreciative of your videos for left handed! I was so frustrating to learn from right handed demos. I now feel confident I can do this.

[@ZimVader-0017]

Thank you for this. I've been wanting to learn how to crochet for some time after I learned how to knit, but nobody knew how to teach me because I'm left handed too. The instructions were so clear and easy to follow, I think I might finish two granny squares today :)

[@sharonbassett909]

Thank you so much Bella! I started crocheting a few weeks ago, and I just fell in love with this. You explain everything perfectly, and go slowly. I have just finished my first baby blanket.

[@JrsBoatRocker]

My mom is a lefty and she couldn't quite figure out how to stitch the granny square. I came across your video, showed it to her, and now she's half way done with her first blanket ! Thank you =)

[@Snooie71]

FANTASTIC !!! im a lefty and always been a knitter/sewer but could never get the hanf of crochet....until now, thankyou soooo much iv done 2 squares up to now, the 2nd one i paused after the first round then i went it alone and did it woooo hoooo THANKYOU !!!!

[@sashamaltby7553]

Thanks alot for posting this, I searched all over youtube for the right tutorial but they were all for right handed people, and not for lefthanders like me. But now that i have found your tutorial I have finally made my first granny square, and i had no trouble doing it! :)

[@bellacococrochet]

Sasha Maltby great news :) Thanks for watching x

[@tiacheesbrough9030]

Thank you kindly Ma'am for sharing this video for left-handed crocheter's. I am left-handed and disabled I use a tension ring as I have cerebral palsy they really do help while you crochet. 😊

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@glittergalaxy24]

I haven't crocheted in awhile, and I was taught by a right-handed person and just had to figure out own my own how to switch it. It was really helpful to see a left-handed person make a granny square; it all came back to me and I had someone to get a visual idea from. Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@Gina-qn6hy]

Your left handed videos are brilliant. I've tried to follow books but with no success. I've finally cracked it, thanks to you.

[@FollowingAmanda]

Thank you so so much for doing this left handed video. For about a year I've tried on and off and failed to make a granny square and today your video taught me how. I'm so so grateful and I'm off to Loveknitting to get some of that lovely yarn you use. You've made me so happy today, thank you, x!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you soooo much for the fantastic left handed crochet tutorials xxxxxx. They are fantastic and I have found them sooo easy to follow. You have re-inspired a dejected wanna be crochet lover to get back into it after years and to finally understand how to do it!. Please, please, please convert all your crochet tutorials into left handed ones as I struggle to follow the right handed ones. Thank you so much again xxxx Keep doing what you do it's fab. Helen xx

[@rosolay8206]

for the 1st time I was able to make a granny square because of you.! you explained clearly and slowly for beginners like me.please keep posting videos.i am so liking it

[@WhiteEstrella01]

I am left handed. It was hard learning from my mother who is right handed. After watching your tutorial, I now understand what she was trying to explain. Going to buy some yarn to make a small blanket. Thank you for putting this out there.

[@sg2squared]

My mum was a tremendous crotcheter but no matter how often she tried I could never quite grasp the technique. Thanks to your tutorial now I'm beginning to master it - thank you so much. Great tutorial, easy to follow and LEFT HANDED - yay!!

[@bellacococrochet]

sg2squared glad it helped :) x

[@traceyt9968]

I am a lefty, and this was an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! I look forward to other videos!

[@adelepowell8974]

Brilliant tutorial. Watched it all the way through now to get yarn and hook ready to make a start.when I play tutorial again and crochet as I watch.

[@an.n5388]

Thank you Sarah! After a lot of tries (I lost count), I made one, and then 2 more after that (even without referring to the video). Its easy when you understand the principle. As a fellow leftie, I thank you for making this video! Lots of love.

[@bellacococrochet]

+Nurul Amalina glad you found it helpful :)

[@mariestoves7653]

Thank you so much for showing the left handed crochet. I am 68 and decided to make a granny square blanket for a from 'across the pond' in Sweden. I am in the USA. I know how to do the crochet stitch and am glad you explained the difference between the standards. I still haven't decided if I am going to make one single square or use smaller ones and connect them later. I might do 1 using a variegated neutral color. Then, once we know if it's a boy or girl, I can add a row of that 'gender color' to each end to form a rectangle. I might even try adding a slightly larger square over one corner to make a hood.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@LaughingOwlblog]

I learnt the basic stitch from a friend at the weekend. Now made my first granny square thanks to your video.

[@kimberlynewberry7770]

This was great! I just started crocheting three days ago with a group of women from my local church, and I had great difficulty because I am the only left-handed person in the class. This video made such a difference, and I just finished my first granny square!!

[@traceygreenaway2928]

Really helpful. My daughter is left handed and this has helped her start to crotchet. Thanks 👍

Well this was hands down the best tutorial I've watched and used to the point I've just managed to crochet my first ever granny square!! I've tried so many times and given up so thankyou ☺ I can officially say now that I can crochet 😁

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome and well done for giving it another go. I'm so glad that it has been of help to you. Good luck with your crochet journey :)

[@harrysmith4288]

Absolutely brilliant. I've been trying to teach myself to crochet for years and got nowhere fast. All I ever managed was basic chain . After following Bella's video a couple of times I've mastered the treble chain and a bit more practice and watch the video again and I'm sure I'll be able to produce a proper square. Thank you so much Bella xx

[@esstee3202]

Thank you so much.. I have now crocheted x 2 Granny squares. Bella Coco is so easy to learn from.

[@vickyhill08]

I’m a lefty and always wanted to learn to crochet, but couldn’t grasp it by watching a right hander.I’m well on the way to perfecting the art now since watching your video. Thank you

[@lauragoyer]

I love your tutorials. I have been trying to Crochet for years... probably around 10 years. I always got so frustrated with it. The other night i was sitting on the couch and decided to try again. I found your tutorial on KZbin and did the Granny Square as you did it. This is the first time i have EVER been able to make ANYTHING with crochet. Then i tried your African Flower, and i accomplished that one too. You are a fantastic teacher. Would you please post some more videos. I am going to try and make baby booties. Thank you SO much for posting tutorials.

[@lauragoyer]

Also, i'm from the US and find the UK terminology makes more sense. I don't know if that's because i am learning from you or what. UK just makes more sense to me.

[@lauragoyer]

I totally posted this on the wrong video. I'm right handed. LOL! I just wanted to tell you how much i appreciate your tutorials in general.

[@bellacococrochet]

Laura Candler thank you for the message. I'm glad it helped xx

[@kristypaton8938]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have just decided to learn to crochet and I am learning by watching tutorials on KZbin. Your granny square is the first piece that I have actually made. You made it easy to understand and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I am not ready to make a large piece yet so I decided to keep going and turn the square into a pot holder. I am still having a hard time holding the yarn firm and keeping an even tension so I am going to make another matching pot holder to practice. 😀👍🏻

[@lauralewis3769]
