A Springtime Hello amigurumi tulip crochet pattern

I used a fuzzy chenille stem for the wire. I folded it in half and used pliers to curl the ends slightly. I also always use a stitch marker so I don't lose track of the rounds.

Petal (make 3)

Do not stuff.

1: 6 sc in MR
2: (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9)
3: (2 sc, inc) x 3 (12)
4: (3 sc, inc) x 3 (15)
5: (4 sc, inc) x 3 (18)
6-7: 18 sc (2 rounds)
8: (5 sc, inc) x 3 (21)
9-11: 21 sc (3 rounds)
12: (5 sc, dec) x 3 (18)
13: (4 sc, dec) x 3 (15)
14: (3 sc, dec) x 3 (12)
15: (2 sc, dec) x 3 (9)

Work 1 sc. Fold the piece in half, line up the edges, and work 5 sc through both layers. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Leaf

Do not stuff.

1: 6 sc in MR
2: (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9)
3: (2 sc, inc) x 3 (12)
4: (3 sc, inc) x 3 (15)
5: (4 sc, inc) x 3 (18)
6-7: 18 sc (2 rounds)
8: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
9: 24 sc
10: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
11: 30 sc (20 rounds)

Fold the piece in half, line up the edges, and work 14 sc through both layers.

Stem

Work from the bottom up. Begin with green yarn. Do not stuff the stem; the chenille stem will go inside it.

1: 6 sc in MR
2: (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9)
3: 9 sc (35 rounds)

3-7: 18 sc (5 rounds)
8: (4 sc, dec) x 3 (15)

11: (3 sc, dec) x 3 (12)
12: 12 sc

Assembly

A Springtime Hello amigurumi crochet pattern. Assembly

  • Begin assembling the flower.
  • Pin the petals to the flower center.
  • Space them evenly.
  • Sew each petal to the base of the flower center (between rounds 1 and 2), then use one stitch to secure the middle of the petal.
  • Do not pull the stitches too tight. Secure the yarn ends and hide them inside the flower center.
  • With the main color, work 9 sc into the front loops at the point where the stem meets the flower center. Join the round with a slip stitch. Weave in the ends.
  • Wrap the leaf around the stem. Align the edges and sew them together. Fasten off and hide the ends inside the flower.
