Tulips is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank.

A beautiful realistic tulip flower with a clever one-piece construction – you’ll love how it comes together! Add some colour to your life with a bouquet of everlasting tulips.

Here are some ideas for use:

• Create a beautiful bouquet or vase of tulips
• Add a shorter stem to make a lovely tulip buttonhole

Yarn: Small quantity of worsted weight yarn in a floral colour (e.g. white, pink, red, purple, yellow, orange, cream) plus yellow for the flower centre and green for the stem

Hook: US E / 3.55mm

Additional info: You’ll also need a bamboo skewer, thin dowel, pipe cleaner, or floral wire to make the stems. 

Size: I used worsted weight yarn and a size E hook, which produced a lifelike 2.25” (6cm) tall flower. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.) Try using a finer yarn or crochet thread with a correspondingly smaller hook to give a more compact flower.
