I have been making progress on my Jolly Chunky Bag. I am really loving working with this chunky, oh so soft yarn for my first crochet bag. Even though this will not matter for a few more rounds, I cannot figure out which side will be on the outside of the bag (the side everyone will see). I have zoomed in as far as I can on the tutorial photos and read all about right and wrong side/front and back, etc. Some information says it is totally up to the crocheter which side will show as long as it isn’t a special stitch. If so, I will have a hard time deciding since I like both sides. On one side, the stitches are a little puffier, and on the other side the stitches are flatter and have a woven look. It is really bugging me since I don’t know which sides to put my loose ends on. If you have any advice that would be great!
This is the “puffy” side.
And this is the flatter side.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi. I only started crocheting about 3 months ago, so I most certainly don’t have to be right but I think the first picture, the puffier side, shows your right side.

I vote for the puffy side, but as you said, it’s completely up to you!

The side that faces you as you crochet is, traditionally, the ‘outside’ of the bag. But really it doesn’t matter as long as you like the result.

Thanks guys! I think I win either way–the puffier side is the side that faces me and I kept going back to it when trying to choose. 🙂

I agree! Other sides look fab, but use the one you like best! (I also like the puffy side) Also thanks for the follow, BTW!
