In crochet patterns what is the wrong side?

[Edit]

Answer

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.
