Left Handed Crochet Starfleet Insignia Guide
Welcome to my Left Handed Crochet Starfleet Insignia Guide, for all my fellow lefty Trekkie Nerds! If you’re a left-handed crocheter and a Star Trek nerd, this guide will teach you how to crochet the classic Starfleet insignia. Join the ranks of other crafty Trekkies with this step-by-step left handed pattern guide.
As a left-handed crocheter, so often we have to teach ourselves how to convert patterns from right side to left side in our heads and I wanted to share my left handed guide for any beginner crocheters who may not be able to convert patterns yet. Please enjoy this pattern guide, may it inspire you to create! Thank you!
