Primula Cowl or Wrap: A Crochet Pattern with Options
Early spring is here! The days are warming up, the tree buds are swelling, and the daffodils are playing peek-a-boo. Every morning, when I walk through my garden, I am greeted by new green things pushing their way through the dark soil, reaching for the warm sunshine that has arrived to stay. Yes, our nights are still chilly, a little too cold to start planting new things, but I am anxiously waiting for the first week of April, when planting season begins!
To celebrate the new season, I designed Primula. Originally, I intended to make a long wrap, but, as I often do, I didn’t order enough yarn to make a long wrap, so instead I seamed the two ends together to make a lovely infinity scarf. Once finished, I was getting serious 70’s vibes from the finished product, which I LOVED. When styling it for pics, I found some awesome corduroy bell-bottoms at our local thrift store which paired with the scarf perfectly!

Materials
When planning my spring and summer projects, I went on a hunt for beautifully pigmented cotton and linen yarn. Of course, Cotlin from We Crochet won out! I just love the wide variety of vibrant colors this cotton and linen blend yarn is available in. I went with two shades of pink, a cream, and the dark ochre yellow. The combination just seemed to sing of the spring cherry blossoms and daffodils! The yarn has a slightly rustic feel. It is softer than many cotton yarns, but the linen strands add a subtle, rustic flair. The linen isn’t as noticeable from a distance, but when you work with the yarn, you see the thin strands of linen twining through the cotton. The yarn was comfortable in my hands and didn’t feel rough to work with. It flowed smoothly over my aluminum hook, but I imagine it wouldn’t cooperate as well with a wooden hook. Cotlin is a 3/light worsted weight yarn.
I chose Swan for my cream color, Creme Brulee as my yellow, Flamingo as my light pink, and Cerise as my dark pink. You can purchase the exact colorways I used, or chose a selection of yarn that fits your personal style using the link below:
Other Materials
I also used my G+/4.5 mm crochet hook from Furls. I love the ergonomic design and weight of the Odyssey hook that I used. I also used these blocking boards from We Crochet to put the finishing touches on my cowl.

Special Stitches
I’ve had my eye on this stitch pattern for a while, just trying to think of an interesting way to use it. I love the texture variety created by the treble crochet cluster flowers, the raised single crochet in back loop only rows, and the unique, undulating chevron created by the increase and decrease stitches.
