How To Crochet The Primrose Stitch Photo Tutorial

Today I have a fairly easy stitch for you all to learn, which makes it the perfect stitch for crochet newbies to give a go.

The Primrose Stitch creates a pretty sturdy fabric, whilst still featuring a whimsical shell-like texture.

Personally, I’m excited to use this stitch for future blanket and scarf projects as I know the end result will be beautiful, and the process delightful!
