- 3.5mm crochet hook
- Polyester fiberfill
- Wooden skewer or stick (for stem)
- Green yarn (to wrap stem)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle (for sewing and embroidery)
- Hot glue gun (for assembly)
Special Stitches

Stitch Abbreviations

Useful Tips
- Use a stitch marker to identify the starting stitch of each round for accuracy.
- Stuff the tulip evenly but not too firmly to maintain its roundness and allow for easy closing.
- When embroidering hearts, gently space each motif and avoid pulling the yarn tight, so the crochet fabric does not pucker.
- Choose a strong, straight skewer for the stem so the flower stays upright.
- Wrap the stem with green yarn evenly and secure with hot glue at each end so it stays neat and won’t unravel with handling.
Step-by-Step Pattern
Tulip Head
Round 1:
- Begin with a magic ring, work 6 SC into ring. (6 stitches)
Round 2:
- 1 inc in each stitch around (6 increases total) (12 stitches)
Round 3:
- (1 SC, 1 inc) repeat 6 times around (18 stitches)
Round 4:
- (1 SC, 1 inc, 1 SC) repeat 6 times (24 stitches)
Round 5:
- (3 SC, 1 inc) repeat 6 times (30 stitches)
Rounds 6–18:
- 1 SC in each stitch for 13 rounds (30 stitches per round)
- After a few rounds, pause to check shape and ensure you are maintaining even tension.
Heart Embroidery
- Thread a yarn needle with contrasting color yarn.
- Working across the stitches, stitch ‘V’ shapes every 4 stitches to form the heart pattern:
- Bring the needle through from the wrong side to the right side at your starting point.
- Insert needle diagonally up and over one stitch, come back down to the center, then diagonally up and across to the other side, forming a ‘V’.
- For each heart, stitch a small horizontal line between the top two diagonal arms to create the upper part of the heart.
- Space hearts evenly in horizontal rows around the tulip, with the bottom of each ‘V’ aligned vertically.
- Adjust positioning as desired for a charming scattered or orderly heart motif.
- Fasten off and weave in ends on the inside of the piece.
Assembly
- Place the wooden skewer or stick at the base center inside the tulip head (open side).
- Apply a small circle of hot glue around the base of the skewer and press it into the center of the flower, holding it until secure.
- Add polyester fiberfill around and above the skewer to stuff the tulip. Fill until firm but not overstretched.
- With a length of matching yarn, close the top of the tulip:
- Run your needle through the front loops across the opening, stitching back and forth to cinch the top edges.
- Pull gently to gather, repeating as necessary, to form the curved top of the tulip.
- Secure and fasten off, weaving in the end inside.
Stem
- Starting at the junction where the skewer meets the base of the tulip, apply a dot of hot glue and lay the end of the green yarn in place.
- Wrap the green yarn tightly and evenly around the length of the skewer, adding a small amount of glue as you go if needed.
- Once you reach the end of the skewer, cut the yarn and secure with a final dot of glue. Smooth the end for a neat finish.
Sizing
- The finished tulip head measures approximately 4–6cm in diameter and 8–10cm in length, depending on tension and stuffing.
- The total height, including stem, is about 22–30cm, based on the skewer length.
