Tulip Flower Crochet Pattern
- Foundation Chain: Start by chaining 13.
- Row 1: Begin in the 2nd chain from the hook. Work 1 single crochet (sc) in each of the remaining chains for a total of 12 sc. Then chain 1 (ch 1) and turn your work.
- Rows 2-23: Work 1 single crochet (sc) in each stitch (st) of the previous row, working in the back loop only (blo).Then chain 1 (ch 1) and turn your work at the end of each row.
- Row 24: Work 1 single crochet (sc) in each stitch of the previous row, working in the back loop only (blo). Then chain 1 (ch 1) and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Assembly Instructions:
- Follow the instructions from Class 1 video:
- Fold the rectangular strip in half to form a cylinder.
- Then use a needle and the long tail of yarn to sew the edges together, creating a cylindrical band.
- Finally close the bottom opening by weaving the needle through alternating stitches along the edge. Pull the yarn tightly to close the opening, forming a small bucket shape. Finally tie a secure knot.
- Stuffing: Then fill the bucket with fiberfill to give it shape.
- Shaping the Flower:
- Insert the needle through a top stitch along the edge of the opening and then pull the yarn through.
- Pinch the opening, then insert the needle through the opposite stitch along the edge and pull the yarn through.
- Repeat this process at a 90-degree angle to the first stitch to fully shape the opening.
- If needed, refer to the Class 1 video for guidance.
- Finishing: Tie a knot to secure the yarn, and finally your Tulip Flower is complete!
Adding the Stem:
- Prepare the Grill Stick: Apply a small amount of glue to one end of a wooden grill stick.
- Wrap with Yarn: Attach the end of the green yarn to the glued area and wrap it tightly around the stick, adding glue as needed to secure it.
- Finish the Stem: Once fully wrapped, cut the yarn and secure the end with a final dab of glue.
Crochet Leaf Pattern:
- Foundation Chain: Chain 20.
- Row 1:
- Starting from the 2nd chain, work the following sequence: 4 single crochets (sc), 1 half double crochet (hdc), 2 double crochets (dc), 6 treble crochets (tc), 2 double crochets (dc), 1 half double crochet (hdc), and 3 single crochets (sc).
- Chain 1 (ch 1).
- Row 2:
- Work 1 single crochet (sc) in each of the opposite chains and then in each stitch from the previous round.
- Slip stitch (sl st) into the first stitch, then chain 1, and cut the yarn.
- Attach the Leaf: Use hot glue to attach the leaf to the stem.
AND THE PATTERN IS COMPLETE!!!!

Tips and Tricks for Crocheting the Tulip Flower:
- Tension Matters: Maintain consistent tension throughout your stitches to ensure the tulip flower has an even and smooth appearance. Too tight or too loose can affect the overall shape.
- Use a Stitch Marker: Place a stitch marker at the beginning of your rows, especially when working in rounds, to keep track of your starting point and ensure your stitches are aligned.
- Back Loop Only (BLO): When working in the back loop only, be sure to insert your hook correctly. This technique adds texture and flexibility to the flower, giving it a more natural look.
- Secure the Yarn: When cutting the yarn, leave a longer tail for sewing. This helps secure the stitches better when assembling the flower, preventing it from coming apart.
- Shaping the Flower: As you shape the tulip, pinch and pull the yarn tightly when closing the base to give the flower a more defined and rounded look. This will also help the flower hold its shape over time.
- Evenly Stuff the Flower: When filling the flower with fiberfill, ensure it’s evenly distributed to avoid lumps or uneven shapes. Lightly stuff it, so the flower remains soft but structured.
- Sturdy Stem: Wrap the grill stick tightly with green yarn to create a sturdy stem. Secure the yarn with glue at intervals to prevent unraveling and finally ensure the stem stays intact.
- Attach Leaves and Flower Securely: Use hot glue sparingly to attach the leaves and flower to the stem. Too much glue can make the attachment bulky, while too little might not hold well.
- Experiment with Colors: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different shades of yarn for the tulip petals and leaves. A combination of lighter and darker tones can add depth and realism to your flowers.
- Practice Makes Perfect: If you’re new to crocheting flowers, practice on a few smaller projects first. This will help you get comfortable with the techniques before tackling the tulip flower.
