Here's a detailed pattern to replicate the tulips in the image:

Materials Needed:

  • Yarn:
    • Red yarn for the tulip flowers.
    • Green yarn for the stems and leaves.
    • Blue or teal yarn for the additional leaves.
  • Crochet Hook: Size appropriate for your yarn (usually a 3.5mm - 4.5mm hook for worsted weight yarn).
  • Stuffing: For the flower heads.
  • Tapestry Needle: For sewing pieces together.
  • Floral Wire (optional): To help the stems stand upright.

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • sc: single crochet
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • st(s): stitch(es)
  • inc: increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
  • dec: decrease (sc 2 stitches together)

Flower Head (Tulip):

Make 3.

  1. Start with Red Yarn:

    • Round 1: Create a magic ring, and work 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
    • Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 sts)
    • Round 3: 1 sc, inc around. (18 sts)
    • Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. (24 sts)
    • Round 5-8: Sc in each stitch around. (24 sts)

  2. Shaping the Tulip:

    • Round 9: 2 sc, dec around. (18 sts)
    • Round 10: 1 sc, dec around. (12 sts)
    • Round 11: Dec around. (6 sts)
    • Round 12-15: Sc in each stitch around. This will create the pointed tip of the tulip.

    Note: Stuff the tulip head lightly before closing.

  3. Closing:

    • Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Use the tail to close the small hole at the top of the tulip.

  4. Make the Petals:

    • Ch 12.
    • Row 1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each st across. (11 sts)
    • Row 2-4: Ch 1, sc in each st across. (11 sts)
    • Row 5: Ch 1, dec in the first 2 sts, sc across until last 2 sts, dec in last 2 sts. (9 sts)
    • Row 6-7: Repeat Row 5 until you have a pointed petal shape. Fasten off.

    Make 3 petals and sew them onto the tulip head.

Stem:

  1. With Green Yarn:

    • Round 1: Create a magic ring, and work 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
    • Round 2: Sc in each st around. (6 sts)
    • Round 3 and onward: Continue working in the round until the stem is the desired length.

    Note: Insert floral wire if using, and stuff lightly as you go.

  2. Attach the Stem:

    • Sew the stem to the base of the tulip head.

Leaves:

  1. With Green Yarn:

    • Ch 16.
    • Row 1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each st across. (15 sts)
    • Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across.
    • Row 3: Ch 1, sc in each st until the last st, 3 sc in the last st (this will create a rounded tip), continue sc on the other side of the chain.
    • Row 4: Sc across until you reach the other end. Fasten off.

    Make 2-3 leaves per tulip.

Assembly:

  1. Position the Leaves: Attach the leaves along the stem, arranging them at different heights.

  2. Additional Leaves: For the blue or teal leaves, use the same pattern as the green leaves but with a different color. These can be sewn onto the stem or arranged at the base of the bouquet.

  3. Finishing Touches: Arrange the tulips in a pot or vase, adjusting the floral wire if used to create the desired shape.
