Introduction

Welcome to my channel! In this tutorial, I will show you how to crochet a beautiful tulip. I am very proud of this pattern and I absolutely love how the tulips turn out. You can make them in different sizes by using different materials and crochet hooks. In this tutorial, we will be working on the bigger size tulip.

To crochet a tulip, you will need the following materials:

• Cotton thread in two colors, one for the flower and one for the leaf
• Crochet hook (0.5 diameter for the wire and 2 millimeters for the crochet)
• Pliers
• Florist tape
• Scissors
• Needle
• Marker

You can find the written pattern and chart on my Facebook page, "Anything Handmade".

Crocheting the Inner Petals

To start crocheting the tulip, make a foundation chain of 14 chains. Then, work 4 more chains to replace the first treble crochet. In the fifth chain, work 2 treble crochet stitches. Continue working 2 treble crochet stitches in the same stitch for a total of 7 treble crochet stitches. Next, work 3 double crochet stitches and then 2 half double crochet stitches. In the last chain, work 3 single crochet stitches. Repeat the same stitches on the other side of the foundation chain to create symmetry.

Crocheting the Outer Petals

To crochet the outer petals of the tulip, start with a slip stitch in the fourth chain to replace the first treble crochet. Then, work 2 treble crochet stitches in the same stitch. Continue working the following stitches symmetrically: 2 treble crochet stitches, 1 treble crochet stitch, 2 treble crochet stitches, 1 treble crochet stitch, 2 double crochet stitches, 1 double crochet stitch, 3 double crochet stitches, 1 half double crochet stitch, 2 half double crochet stitches, 1 single crochet stitch. Place a marker in the last single crochet stitch.

Continue working the same stitches symmetrically on the other side: 1 half double crochet stitch, 2 half double crochet stitches, 1 double crochet stitch, 3 double crochet stitches, 2 double crochet stitches, 1 treble crochet stitch, 2 treble crochet stitches, 1 treble crochet stitch, 2 treble crochet stitches, 3 treble crochet stitches, 2 treble crochet stitches. Close the round with a slip stitch.

Assembling the Tulip

To assemble the tulip, single crochet around the petal while incorporating the 0.5mm wire. Make 2 or 3 slip stitches to secure the wire and hide the tail. Twist the ends of the wire and your first inner petal is done. Repeat the same process to create three more inner petals.

Now, start working on the outer petals. Make a slip knot and chain 31. Then, work 3 additional chains to replace the first double crochet. Work 2 double crochet stitches in the fourth chain from the hook. Continue working the following stitches: 1 double crochet in the next 18 stitches, 1 half double crochet in the next 11 stitches, and 1 single crochet in the last chain.

Repeat the same stitches symmetrically on the other side: 1 half double crochet in the next 11 stitches, 1 double crochet in the next 18 stitches, and 3 double crochet stitches in the last stitch. Close the round with a slip stitch.

Continue crocheting the outer petals by working treble crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches, and single crochet stitches while incorporating wire. Finish each petal with a slip stitch.
