22 dc
1 hdc
1 dc in each of the next 2 sts

Join with sl st at the first stitch.

Single crochet around the entire leaf, making 2 sc together at the tip to prevent curling.

Finish with sl st, cut yarn, weave in tail.

Brush the wrong side of the leaf with fabric stiffener, shape it while it dries so it stays firm and curved.

🌿 STEM

Use a wooden stick 18 cm long.

Measure 4 cm at the top—this part stays uncovered.

Apply silicone glue to the rest of the stick.

Wrap the entire length (except the top 4 cm) with green yarn tightly.

Secure the end with glue and let it dry completely.

🌸 Stuffing the Tulip

Add fiberfill gradually, keeping the stem centered.
Stuff firmly, but avoid overfilling.
Remove stitch marker.
Finish with sl st, leave a long tail for sewing, and fasten off.

🌸 Flower Shaping & Petals

Flatten the top of the flower slightly and identify the two opposite sides.

With the long tail, sew the center closed, pulling tight.

Fold the top into four “petal sections”.

Fill each section lightly for shape.

For each petal:

Sew the edges together
Pull tight
Knot at the tip
Bring needle inside and out the next petal
Repeat

Insert the needle through the flower to hide the knot and cut the yarn.

Adjust stuffing from the outside using your needle tip.

🌿 Attach the Leaf

Position the leaf on the stem so it sits just below the flower.
Apply silicone glue inside the fold, press onto the stem, and hold until secure.
Allow it to dry completely.

✨ Pattern Notes

The flower works best with sport or DK yarn, but you can scale up using thicker yarn and a larger hook.
Use a tiny amount of stuffing inside the petals so the tulip keeps a natural shape.
Fabric stiffener on the leaf makes a huge difference in how polished the final tulip looks.
For a more realistic bouquet, create 2–3 leaves at different angles.
