How to Crochet The Primrose Stitch?
This crochet stitch is actually easier than it looks. This is a two rows repeat stitch pattern, and it uses only single crochet, chains, and double crochet. So it’s also a great stitch for an advanced beginner.
To create the little “roses” you work 3 double crochet stitches into the same stitch.
And the interesting fact is, that the right side of the flowers is the wrong side of the double crochet stitches! But you can use any side you want, of course, both the wrong and the right sides are beautiful.

What Can You Make With The Crochet Primrose Stitch?
So in which projects can you use the beautiful crochet Primrose stitch you’re asking?
This stitch is not lacey and doesn’t have big holes, so it is perfect for most projects. You can make beautiful and soft blankets and scarves with this stitch, or a lovely envelope purse.
I really like this stitch, I have used it in these coasters and in the Rambling Roses Blanket Square.
I have also used the crochet Primrose stitch in my Rambling Roses Infinity Scarf.
The Rambling Roses Infinity Scarf is worked in the round using the Primrose stitch and hdc stitches, to create a more interesting and unique look.
This stitch combination makes a soft cozy scarf, you can use wool for the colder winter days, or cotton yarn for the cool autumn.

What Type of Yarn Should You Use For The Crochet Primrose Stitch?
The best yarn for this crochet stitch would be a natural fiber such as cotton, or bamboo, which will have good stitch definition. But also a blend with acrylic or wool, can be a good fit.
Also, the yarn weight has an important role here, I would use Sport, DK, or Worsted weight yarns for the best stitch definition in this pattern.
