Crocheting left-handed is really simple! Normally, crocheting is from right to left; when you crochet left-handed, you work from the left to the right. Once you know this, you can make any stitch (or pattern) you would like by simply reversing instructions!
To create a foundation chain (this is the base of all things crocheted), make a slip knot around your hook and hold your hook in your left hand.
Wrap your yarn around your hook from the back to the front.
Pull your yarn through the slip knot. You have now chained one stitch! Keep doing this until you have the amount of stitches desired (I did ten)!
How to Single Crochet Left-Handed
Chain one stitch to use as a turning chain (you will do this at the beginning of each row). Now, insert your crochet hook into the back loop of the second chain from your hook
Wrap your yarn from the back to the front of your hook.
Pull the yarn through one loop.
Wrap the yarn again, and this time pull the yarn through both of the loops on your hook.
You have now made one single crochet (abbreviated sc) stitch!
Continue doing this across the row. When you reach the end of the row, chain one and turn the work. Keep making single crochet stitches with one minor difference; insert your hook underneath both loops of the chain.
After a few rows, your work should look like this.
