Calling all my left-handed crochet friends! If you’ve been looking for a left-handed granny square crochet diagram, you’re in the right place.
I previously shared my Classic Granny Square Crochet Pattern, and I wanted to make it easier for left-handed crocheters to follow along, too.
Below you’ll find left-handed crochet stitch diagrams for a classic granny square and its final border round. These charts make it easier to visualize stitch placement and follow the pattern when crocheting left-handed.
Granny Square — Left-Handed Crochet Stitch Diagram
This left-handed granny square stitch diagram shows the stitch placement and construction of a traditional granny square.
Unlike right-handed crochet diagrams, which are generally read counterclockwise when working in rounds, left-handed crochet diagrams are generally read clockwise. This follows the direction in which left-handed crocheters typically work.
Start at the center of the diagram and follow the rounds outward. Each round builds on the previous one to create the familiar granny square shape.
Granny Square Border — Left-Handed Crochet Stitch Diagram
The final border round is especially helpful if you’re planning to join multiple granny squares together.
I used this border when joining my squares with the Join As You Go (JAYGO) method, which lets you connect granny squares as you work the final round rather than sewing them together afterward.

I too, am left handed. I have purchased many instruction books, and tried to do it their way, but I just got frustrated…. Thankyou for helping us to make granny squares.
My mom is a crocheter, and also left-handed… I didn’t ever think about difficulty reading patterns! I’m going to share this with her!
Hello Kara,
Thank you very much for these diagrams, I’m left-handed and I always have problems with diagrams, and it is not allways easy to see the diagrams on the other side of the paper (turning it to check it in the other positition).
Sharing with my sister who crochets!
