PART B – Leaf

Step 1 – Foundation Chain

  2. Chain 25.

Step 2 – First Side of Leaf

Work into the chains starting from the 3rd chain from the hook.

  1. In the 3rd chain from hook: 1 sc. You can mark this stitch.
  2. In the next 2 chains: 1 sc in each
    • You now have 3 sc in a row.

    • Total: 3 sc.

Now turn your work to crochet on the other side of the starting chain.Crochet Tulip Pattern

  8. Chain 1 (do not count as a stitch).

Your basic leaf shape is now complete.Crochet Tulip Pattern

Step 4 – Adding Wire to the Leaf

  1. Take about 13 inches of thin wire.
  2. Place the wire along the edge of the leaf on the wrong side (back side).
  3. Insert hook into the next stitch along the leaf edge, catching the wire under the stitch.
  4. Make 1 sc in this stitch with the wire inside the stitch so it gets trapped and hidden.
  5. Continue to work 1 sc in each stitch around the leaf edge, always holding the wire along the edge and crocheting over it.
  6. Stop when you reach the marked middle point on the other side.
  7. Fold the extra wire inside near the tip and secure it by working 3 sc into that middle stitch again around the wire.
  8. Continue working sc along the other side of the leaf, covering the wire completely.
  9. When you reach the end, make a slip stitch, chain 1, cut the yarn leaving a tail, and pull through.
  10. Twist the two wire ends together at the leaf base to make it firm.
  11. Use the yarn tail to weave and hide it inside the stitches.

Now the leaf is ready. The wire is hidden inside and the leaf is shapeable.

PART C – Assembling the Tulip Flower with Stem

Step 1 – Preparing the Flower Stem

  1. Take the thick wire for the stem (length as per your choice).
  2. Insert a long piece of green yarn into the needle and bring it through the base of the tulip flower from the center bottom.
  3. Bring both yarn ends out at the base.
  4. Insert the thick wire into the base of the flower so that about 2 inches of wire go inside the flower.
  5. Add a little glue at the base around the wire and the bottom of the flower to fix it.
  6. Wrap the green yarn firmly around the wire and the flower base, forming a neat base for the tulip.
  7. Let the glue dry a little and cut the extra yarn if needed.

Step 2 – Wrapping the Stem

  1. Apply a thin layer of glue along the top part of the thick wire.
  2. Start wrapping green yarn tightly around the wire, just under the flower base.
  3. Wrap slowly and evenly, going down the wire.
  4. Cover around 8 cm first, then stop to add the leaf.

Step 3 – Attaching the Leaf to the Stem

  1. Place the leaf’s twisted wire base against the stem where you want the leaf to sit.
  2. Hold the leaf wire and stem together.
  3. Continue wrapping the green yarn around both the stem wire and the leaf wire to attach them tightly.
  4. Wrap firmly so the join looks neat and clean.
  5. Apply glue as you wrap to fix the yarn in place.
  6. Continue wrapping the yarn downwards until you reach the bottom of the stem.
  7. Cut the yarn and secure the end with a little glue.
  8. Let it dry and then trim any extra yarn.

Now bend the leaf gently into a natural shape.

Finishing the Pattern

  • Adjust the tulip head by gently pressing and shaping the top.
  • Shape the leaf as you like by bending the wire inside.
  • Check that no wire is visible on front or back.
  • Make more tulips in different colors to form a bouquet.Crochet Tulip Pattern

Tips to Maintain the Tulip

  • Keep the tulip away from water and moisture to protect the glue and wire.
  • Dust it gently with a dry cloth or soft brush.
  • Do not pull hard on the leaf or flower, as it may change shape.
  • If the stem becomes bent, gently reshape it by hand.
