When you start crocheting in rounds, you create fabric that grows outward from the center in a circular pattern. This method naturally produces two distinct surfaces: the right side and the wrong side. Knowing how to identify and work with these sides can improve your finished project’s appearance and help you follow patterns more accurately.

When you crochet in rows, you create fabric by working back and forth, turning your work at the end of each row. This simple technique can produce a variety of textures and patterns, but it also means your project will have two distinct sides: the right side and the wrong side

When you first start crocheting, you might come across the terms Right Side (RS) and Wrong Side (WS) in your patterns. These terms can feel confusing at first, but understanding them will help you follow instructions more easily and create projects that look just the way you want.
