Hello everyone, my name is Sarah, a rich texture crochet and welcome. Today we are going to learn how to crochet the beautiful Primrose stitch, which is the stitch that you can see here in front of you. This is a beautiful 2 row repeat made up of chain stitches, single crochet stitches and double crochet stitches. For this tutorial I'm going to be using a 5.5 millimeter crochet hook along with some of the Karen Timespan tone yarn. You're welcome to use any size hook and any size yarn for this pattern at U-ish. So thank you so much for joining me today and if it is your first time and you haven't already hit that subscribe button be sure to subscribe as well. The notification bell is there if you'd like to be notified whenever I upload a pattern which is weekly on this channel. So what we're going to do is we're going to start by making our slip knot and this pattern is worked in rows. So we're going to start by making a foundation chain and our foundation chain needs to be a multiple of three stitches and then add two. So for today I'm going to start by making a foundation chain of 18 20 stitches. So my multiple of three plus two. There's four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 15, 18 and 20. Once you have your foundation chain you're going to start by working a row of single crochet and chain stitches and you're going to start by working a single crochet stitch in the third chain from your hook. So 1, 2, 3 and work your first single crochet stitch then chain two and work a single crochet stitch into that same chain. Next you're going to skip two chains, 1, 2 into the next chain, work a single crochet, chain two and a single crochet into that same chain. You're then going to repeat that all the way across. Skip the next two stitches, 1, 2 and into the next stitch, work a single crochet, chain two and single crochet. Repeat that all the way across. Skipping two chains in between each. Now when you come to your last two chains as I have you're going to skip the next chain and then work one half double crochet stitch into that final chain and that brings you to the end of your row one. At the end of row one you're going to chain three and turn your work. Your chain three counts as a double crochet stitch. We're now going to start the first of the repeat rows which is a series of double crochet stitches. You're going to after your chain three you're going to skip that first half double crochet, skip the first single crochet and then into the chain two space you're going to work three double crochet stitches. So work three double crochet stitches into that next chain two space. Skip the next two single crochet stitches and into the next chain two work three double crochet stitches. Repeat that all the way across. Work three double crochets into each stitch and each chain two space all the way across. When you come to your final chain two space you're going to work your final three double crochets into it and then you're going to work one final double crochet stitch into that chain two that starting chain two. So work one final double crochet stitch into your chain two and that brings you to your end of row two. You're then going to chain one and turn your work. Now some people at this point would actually chain two and turn your work. I like to chain one and then work a half double crochet stitch into that first stitch. You're then going to skip the next double crochet and then into the center of the double crochet of the three double crochet stitches so that center double crochet the next one work your single crochet chain two and single crochet. Skip the next two stitches and then single crochet into the next one chain two and single crochet and that's your repeat. So you're going to repeat that all the way across. Skip the next two stitches into the next stitch single crochet chain two and single crochet do that all the way across. I last set here single crochet chain two single crochet and then into the third chain of your starting chain three. So this top of the chain three work one final half double crochet when you come to the end of the half double crochet into the top of your turning chain three. And that brings you to the end of your row three. So now what you're going to do is for the rest of your pattern is you're going to repeat chain three, turn your work, work three double crochet stitches into each chain two space all the way across, chain one, turn your work, work a half double crochet and then repeat the row that we just worked there with your single crochets and half and chain stitches. And that's all there is to working this primrose stitch pattern. So thank you so much for joining me and until next time happy crochet. Bye! PYON
