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 amount 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 / 3.5mm

Additional info: You'll also need a bamboo skewer, thin dowel, pipe cleaner, or floral wire for the stem

Size: approx 2.25" (6cm) tall. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.)

Option: This pattern will work with any size yarn, provided you choose a suitable hook size for your yarn. For a lifesize tulip, I recommend worsted weight yarn.
