Crochet Tulips & Vase Pattern Step by Step
This crochet pattern teaches you how to make a lovely crochet tulip flower pot that looks very realistic and cute. The special part of this design is the vase itself, which features a beautiful bubbly texture created by using popcorn stitches. You can customize the size and colors to match your style, making it a perfect decoration that never wilts or needs water.
How to Make It
-
First, you crochet a small rectangle and sew the sides to make the flower head.
-
Next, you stuff it with cotton to make it puffy and round.
-
Then, you crochet the leaves and wrap yarn around a wire to make the stem.
-
To make the vase, you crochet a circle for the bottom and work your way up.
-
You slide a plastic sheet inside the vase to keep it strong and stiff.
