- Double crochet - dc
- Double crochet 3 together (dc3tog)

Notes
- Swatch: This pattern is for a small 6 inch crochet tulip stitch swatch, not a whole project. Adjust the starting chain length if you want to make this into a full project.
- Yarn: I used acrylic yarn for this tutorial, but you can use any type of yarn and yarn weight for the tulip crochet stitch.
- Between tulip rows: I use 2 rows of single crochet in between crochet tulip rows, but you can use whatever stitch you want. You just want it to be 2 rows so the tulips all face the same side.
Instructions
- With the aran yarn, ch x26 (or any number that is a multiple of 3 +2).
- Row 1: In the 2nd chain from the hook make a sc. Continue to make sc stitches for the rest of the row (25). Then ch x1 and turn.
- Row 2: Sc in every stitch (25). Then in the last stitch, fasten off the aran yarn and switch the color to green. With the green yarn ch x4 (this counts as a dc + ch) and turn.
- Row 3: Dc in the first stitch in the row. *Then skip 2 stitches and in the next stitch dc, ch x2, dc in 1 stitch to form a “V” stitch. Repeat from * for the rest of the row. You should end the row with a dc, ch x2 and dc in the last stitch. In the last dc in the row, switch the yarn color to red. Then ch x2 and turn.
- Row 4: In the ch-2 space, dc3tog. *Then ch x2 and dc4tog in the next ch-2 space. This should be in the middle of the “V” shape. Repeat from * for the rest of the row and then fasten off the red yarn in the last cluster stitch in the row. Switch the yarn color to aran and ch x1.
- NOTE: You can do the tulip cluster stitch with 3-5 dc stitches. If you dc3tog, for the main row you will get flat tulips, while dc5tog can make them very textured on one side and flat on the other. 4 stitches is in between the 2 and is a good medium, it just depends on the outcome you want.
- Row 5: *Sc into the top of the dc cluster stitch, sc x2 into the ch-2 space. Repeat from * for the rest of the row (25). Then ch x1 and turn.
- Row 6: Sc in every stitch (25). In the last stitch switch the color to green and ch x4.
- Repeat rows 3-6 for as many times as you need until you get the length you want for your project.
- And now you know how to make the crochet tulip stitch!
