Usually, the pattern will tell you which is the right side. I have been crocheting for five years and I still can't tell by looking.

If a pattern says something like this:

Chain 51, turn

SC in each CH across (RS)

...that means the row of single crochets is the right side (RS). You can put a loop of a contrasting color yarn, or a small safety pin, on the end of that row in one of the front loops. Then when you are several rows ahead you can always look to see which side your marker is on, and know that's the right side.

you can tell by looking at the chain of loops that is created. if it curls towards you, this is the right side, if it curls away from you, it is the wrong side.

What I do is when I do my foundation chain, I leave a tail. Then when the tail of the project is on my left, I would be on the "right" side of the piece, if the tail is on the right side, then I'm looking at the "wrong" side or back of the project.

If you are chaining up and turning on every row, and unless your pattern specifies the right side differently, your odd rows will be the right side. As noted above, Row 1 of sc will be your front or right side, you turn and work Row 2 the back side, Row 3 again on the right side etc.

What does the wrong side of the fabrics mean?

The wrong side of the fabric refers to the side that is not intended to be visible in the final product. It is usually less smooth or finished-looking than the right side, which is the side facing outward. Sewing patterns and instructions often specify which side of the fabric should be facing up or out, so it's important to pay attention to ensure a professional finish.
