While working on a sign for a craft fair, I decided to take pictures of the process. As a left-handed crocheter, I've found that it is hard to come across Left-Handed tutorials that are made by actual Lefties. Most photos and videos are just mirrored/flipped. Though I'm thankful for these photos and videos, I decided that the best way to change this for fellow lefties, is to start doing it myself. To any right-handed people that may be interested in learning crochet: The world is your oyster. Google away! For the rest of us, here's a rough start to my first tutorial. **US Terms** CH = Chain. SC = Single Crochet. DEC = Decrease. SS = Slip Stitch

Though I'm thankful for these photos and videos, I decided that the best way to change this for fellow lefties, is to start doing it myself. To any right-handed people that may be interested in learning crochet: The world is your oyster. Google away! For the rest of us, here's a rough start to my first tutorial. **US Terms** CH = Chain. SC = Single Crochet. DEC = Decrease. SS = Slip Stitch
Start with a Chain (CH) of 13. Inside the back loops of the chain, Single Crochet (SC) across. - 12 Chain one and turn. Single crochet across. 12 CH one and turn.
Make a single crochet decrease (dec) in the first stitch, SC across, SC dec in last. - 10 stitches. Chain one and turn. Single crochet across. 10 CH one and turn.
Keep repeating the sequence of sc dec, sc across, sc dec, ch 1 turn, sc across. CH 1 turn Until you reach your last stitch. Your triangle tip will be made from a sc decrease through your last two remaining stitches. . At the finished tip of the triangle, CH 1.
Single Crochet around the triangle. When you reach a corner: SC, CH 1, SC into the same space.
Continue this way around the rest of the triangle.
When you reach the beginning tip: SC, Ch 1, Slip Stitch. Finish off by weaving in the thread left the tip of the triangle, and trimming off the excess. Leave the corner yarn tails in place.
Continue making as many triangles you would like!
Using your yarn tails, sew the triangles together on the Wrong side.
Hang your bunting as desired. For my Craft Fair sign, my idea was super last-minute so I just stapled them on. I hope you enjoyed this post, and found it helpful! Please leave me feedback in the comments if you have any questions! Thank you! <3 - Ames
