The crochet primrose stitch is a relatively easy stitch to learn and

perfect for beginners! It creates a beautiful shell look and makes
any project a little more appealing to the eye. It looks great in most
any crochet project and looks even more amazing when used to
create a blanket.

Have fun using this primrose stitch pattern to create your next design!

THE YARN THAT’S PERFECT FOR A
PRIMROSE STITCH
I decided to do my tutorial with worsted weight yarn from Hobby Lobby and a size J
crochet hook, but you can easily use any yarn weight and the corresponding hook size
for the same results.


I would recommend Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice or Red Heart Super Savers as suitable
substitutes. Either one is a great alternative to mimic the results of this stitch as

shown.

Hi Heather, SHARES

I never measured my blanket and since it was so long ago I don’t remember. I should
make another though to get the correct measurements!
