Left Handed Knitting
A Fun and Creative Hobby

Believe it or not, Left Handed Knitting is a hot google search for lefties. Knitting left handed is not easy as I found out when I was required to knit in my seventh grade art class (lots of fun for a thirteen year old boy?). There were no left handed knitting instructions to guide me at the time.

Searching the internet and local book stores I have found some resources to help those who enjoy knitting or crochet. My grandmother loved to crochet and although not left handed, made many beautiful pieces that I cherish now that she is gone.

Here are four books I can recommend for your hobby:

Left-handed Knitting by Regina Hurlburt

Left-Handed Crochet by Regina Hurlburt

Learn to Crochet, with Instructions for Left & Right Handed Crocheters, Nomis Volume 49 by unknown

McCall's How to Crochet It! Book Two (Collector's Edition, Complete How-To's for Right- and Left-Handed Crocheters by Rosemary, Editor McMurtry

Also, here are two websites/blogs that you might find interesting:

Thanks to YouTube there are a few left handed knitting instructions videos out there;

So, being left handed in the world of knitting or crochet may be challenging at times, but once mastered can result in beautiful pieces you can share with friends and loved ones. Go ahead and pick up some yarn and enjoy the relaxing hobby of left handed knitting.
