This Crochet Tulip Pot Pattern is a tribute to spring and new beginnings. Whether you’re brand new to crocheting flowers or already love creating handmade blooms, this pattern is designed to be simple, beginner-friendly, and fun to make.
Yarn size: I used worsted weight for the crochet potted tulip pattern, but you can use any size yarn. It would be cute to use a chunky yarn and then add a face and some legs for a crochet jellycat inspired flower design.
Finished size: The crochet tulip flower pattern is roughly 8 inches tall when completed.
Increases: To create a slightly flatter bottom, I made the first 3 rounds of the pattern using an increase of 8 and then switched to an increase of 6 - so keep that in mind when crocheting the pattern.

Round 18: This is where we will be crocheting the soil to the vase.
With the right side facing up on the soil, sc the vase and soil together by going through all 4 loops (the top 2 loops from each of the pieces) (36). Before crocheting the vase closed, make sure you stuff it with polyfill.
Round 19: This will create the frilly edge of the vase. Make a sl st, then *hdc + dc into the next stitch. Dc + hdc into the following stitch. Then sl st into the next. Repeat from * for the rest of the round. Make a sl st into the first sl st you made in the round.
Crochet Tulip Leaves:
With the green yarn, ch x9. Before starting the next part,
With the 26 gauge wire underneath the stitches you create, follow this sequence of stitches, starting in the second ch from the hook: sc x4, hdc x3, and then in the last stitch dc x6 and turn to the unworked side of the chain. Hdc x3, sc x4. Then fasten off the yarn and the wire, leave an inch or so of wire, but a few inches of yarn.
Make 2 leaves.
How to Crochet a Tulip:
Round 1: With the pink yarn, make a mr and sc x6 into the circle. Pull tight.
Round 2: Inc in every stitch (12).
Round 3: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (18).
Round 4: Inc, sc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24).
Round 5-11: Sc in every stitch (24). Fasten off the yarn but leave a tail for sewing.
Finishing the Tulip:
Before we can close the tulip, we need to attach the stem and leaves.
Step 1: Bend one end of the floral wire into a small curve, then insert it through the center of the tulip so the curved end stays hidden inside. Thread the green yarn onto your sewing needle and bring it up through the bottom center of the tulip. Secure the yarn to the floral wire, and if needed, add a little glue to keep it from slipping.
Step 2: Pull the yarn and wire down to the base inside the tulip. Begin wrapping the green yarn tightly around the floral wire. After wrapping about 2 inches, attach the leaves by twisting their wire around the stem. Continue wrapping the yarn over the leaf wire and down the rest of the stem until the floral wire is fully covered. Secure the yarn ends with hot glue.
Step 3: To finish the tulip, lightly fill it with polyfill stuffing. Using the pink yarn tail and your needle, pinch the top of the tulip into a plus-sign shape. Sew through the center point where all four sections meet, stitching in an “X” pattern to hold the shape in place.
Step 4: Insert the tulip into the middle of the soil of the crochet pot. If you like you can add a small amount of hot glue to the end before pushing it through to secure the tulip to the vase.
And now you have a finished crochet tulip vase! I hope you enjoyed this free crochet tulip pot pattern
