Materials Needed:

  • White, green, and three shades of pink yarn.
  • 2.5 mm crochet hook.
  • Skewer stick, cut to size.
  • Scissors.
  • Very thin wire for tulip petal edges.
  • Wool needle.
  • Marker (optional for marking rounds).
  • Small piece of acetate for pot firmness.
  • Natural stones for decoration (optional).
  • A small amount of silicone filler.
  • Hot silicone glue.

Step by step Pattern

Starting with the Pot:

  1. Base: Start with a Magic Ring.
    • Round 1: Into the Magic Ring, crochet 6 single crochets (sc). Pull the ring closed.
    • Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
    • Round 3: 1 sc in the first, increase in the next. Repeat around (18 sc).
    • Round 4: 2 sc, increase. Repeat around (24 sc).
    • Round 5: 3 sc, increase. Repeat around (30 sc).
    • Round 6: 4 sc, increase. Repeat around for a total of 36 sc. Close each round with a slip stitch to keep the work straight.
  2. Walls of the Pot:
    Begin to crochet in back loops only from here(add firmness and texture).
    • Round 7 to desired height: Continue with 36 sc in the back loops only around each round till the pot reaches your desired height. Insert and sew the acetate piece inside for extra firmness. Finish off with an invisible join.
  1. Decorative Edge:
    • Final round: Slip stitch around the edge for a neat finish. Alternatively, use a contrasting color for a decorative touch.

Tulip Flower:

  1. Petals (Make 6):
    • Chain 14, turn.
    • In the 2nd chain from hook, 1 sc, then half-double crochet (hdc) in the next, followed by 9 double crochets (dc) along the chain.
    • 3 sc in the last chain, then on the other side of the chain, repeat the pattern in reverse (9 dc, 1 hdc, end with 1 sc). Join with a slip stitch.
    • Use wire around the edges for shaping.
  1. Assembly:
    • Using hot glue, fix the petals around a skewer stick to form the flower. Add the wire for stems and wrap with green yarn for a realistic stem. Attach leaves as desired.

Heart Surprise Inside the Tulip:

  1. Heart-Shaped Stuffing:
    • Start with a magic ring, crochet 6 sc inside.
    • Increase each round until you form a small heart shape, stuffing lightly before fully closing.
    • Position the heart inside one of the tulip petals before final assembly.

Finishing Touches:

  1. Pot Filling:
    • Fill the bottom of the pot with stones or a piece of acetate for stability. Use hot silicone to fix the stem of the tulip to the pot's base. Add the synthetic filler around the stem for firmness and to maintain the shape.
  1. Assembly:
    • Carefully position and secure the tulip inside the pot, ensuring it's well-balanced and stands straight.
    • Optionally add more stones around the base for decoration and extra stability.

Please note, that for a seamless experience, adjust the petal positions as you glue them for a naturally opening tulip. Feel free to modify sizes and colours according to your taste or to achieve unique designs. Enjoy crafting your crochet Tulip in a Pot!
