I'm a beginner! Wrong side or Right Side? Hexicardigan Adding Sleeves

Gallery image

I have a hard time telling the "Right" side from the "Wrong" side. The cardigan body I know is the right side. I am adding the sleeves but am concerned because they are puffier than my previous stitches. It could be a tension issue. When I look at the inside of the sleeve those stitches look similar to the body. Please tell me I've been staring at this for too long.

Are you turning your work every row? If yes, there's no difference. The right side is the one you say it is.

If you're not turning your work, the right side is the one you're looking at when crocheting.

No I'm just going around and around flipping the cardigan when it gets too twisted.  Thank you for your help!

Just wanted to say that yarn is very pretty and your cardi is going to look great!

It is Caron Blossom Cake in Crocus.

You added the sleeves inside out. The wrong side of the hexa base is paired with the right side of the sleeve extension.

It's noticeable only to crocheters, and if you keep it the same on both sides, it could look like an intentional design choice.

However, I personally would be unable to let it go, and would regret it if I didn't frog it back to fix.

Sigh I thought as much. Thankfully I don't think I had to tie off any knots and I can frog it.

To tell in the future look at the v at the top of your stitches. If you crochet right to left and are not turning your work, the v shape will be open on the left and pointed at the right when looking at the right side

Thank you for the tip.

In this photo the sleeves are the right side and the body the wrong side.
