I'm having a hard time figuring out how to add the crab stitches. Having to start without it being connected to the original piece as well as being a left handed crocheter, I can't figure out how to do it properly. Anyone out there who can help?
Yo aún no he llegado, pero soy zurda, así que me estoy asustando... Lo siento.

Hi Autumnaguon1,
To start crocheting in a random stitch, you pull up a loop, then work a chain stitch. Your yarn is now connected.
I assume, as a left-handed crocheter, you work mirror-wise. The crab stitch would simply be mirrored as well, so you work in the opposite direction of how a normal stitch would be crocheted.
If you feel uncomfortable working crab stitches, you can also work an embellishment of sc or slst stitches in the normal direction.
I hope this helps!
