Look at the fabric. One side will be prettier than the other. That's the right side. If you are looking at stockinette knitting, where you knit one side and purl the other side, generally the knit side is the right side. Examine the stitches. On one side the stitches look like the letter "V." On the other, they look like bumps or dashes ("-"). The "V" side is the knit, or right side, and the "-" side is the purl or wrong side.

Some knitting patterns do not have a right or wrong side; the pattern is meant to be reversible. However, the side that is the right side on a non-reversible pattern is the side with the pattern on it and usually the side that the knit stitches are on.

The right side and wrong side are pretty arbitrary.

For the most part, sweaters and other garments are knit in a style called stockinette.. If that's the case, you'll see a pattern of little v shapes all over the front side. If not, look for seams. Usually thick seams are hidden on the 'wrong side' of the knitting.

If all else fails, just wear it how you like it best, and be a trendsetter.

The wrong side is most likely the purl side, which will be sort-of lumpy looking. The right side, or knit side, will look like straight, vertical rows.

The right side of a crochet pattern generally has distinctive raised stitches forming a geometric pattern. The "wrong" side tends to have more recessed areas.
