CROCHET Tulip Stitch Tutorial

[@annlyon6524]

Lovely pattern! Don't know when I will get around to crocheting it. I have a dozen projects in the works right now! Thank you for the tutorial. You are very clear with your instructions too. Neatly joined with the new colors and I may try joining colors the way you do. Have a wonderful day!

Yours is the first tutorial that mentioned everything you need for this product including the size needle thank you so much!!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad it was helpful to you, Paige Atchison! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@dianekent922]

Came across your tutorial yesterday. I'm new to crochet, but I thought I would give this a go. I slowed your video down and went through it stitch by stitch. Four hours later, I have completed six rows, and I'm back on the single crochet. Clear simple instructions. Thank you so much. It looks like I'm a pro!! 😊😊

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh you are so sweet, Diane Kent! Please try my newer tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2fdk42ogdWggac Thank you!! 🌺🌻🌸

[@bascia3125]

I love your tutorials, so precise on where the stitches go, not like some of them. I have been crocheting over 60 years, and believe me when I say yours are the best! Extremely good teacher, ya even taught me some new things! Thank you again!

[@jennycohl8401]

Hi, I’m in the mood for making a Tulip Stitch and cat stitch blanket for my sister. You are my hero! You are so fun that I started designing my own patterns. I was in a slump. I wanted to go back to the basics. You really helped to inspire me. Thanks for giving me some new tools and helping me reach my goals. By the way, I grew up in Michigan and used to visit my relatives in Toronto a few times a year. You know, Detroit is across from Canada. ❤

[@SecretYarnery]

Awe! Thank you so much, Jenny Cohl! 🌺🌷🌺

[@alishawilliams7423]

I picked your video because you have a follow up video on how to put a boarder on this blanket. I started off using someone else's video tutorial but they didn't go over how to add a boarder and it was stressing me out! So far it has been very easy to follow and I like the way it is turning out!

[@haleyherring1883]

Could you carry the colors up instead of cutting them each time since you’re doing a border?

[@joannehornberger3575]

I live how you teach this stitch, you are so easy to listen to. I cannot wait to see how mine turns out. Thank you.

[@SecretYarnery]

[@wildfireswildfires6792]

It's a very beautiful stitch, nicely explained. I find the leaves a bit thin to my taste so I'm gonna flesh them up by doing 2 double crochet puffs. I plan to add this stitch to a gigantic granny square blanket so I'll have to figure out the proper stitch count, probably by having a multiple of 3 number of rows... Fingers crossed !

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, @wildfireswildfires6792! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@susanmorris5294]

Thankyou for your beautiful patern and I am going to make an afaghan out of this for my self. And a pillow set for spring time. I love the stitches. I have been chrocheting since I was 7years old. Thankyou Susan morris from Boston Massachusetts

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh Nette - I'm so excited for you!! Isn't it an amazing feeling when you realize that you CAN turn that plain ol' ball of yarn into... something FABULOUS? And then when you start thinking that one ball of yarn won't be enough to take with you - you'll run out before the outing is over - another fabulous moment in the crochet journey. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! Christa. xx!

I can't wait to try this stitch. thank you for the tutorial

[@SecretYarnery]

Let me know how it goes! What are you going to make with it? I have done pillow covers, lamp shades, and my students have even made blankets! It's a great stitch. Looks amazing when it is done. Christa. xx!

[@terriwade4143]

hello. so I've got my yarn and crochet hook to begin the tulip stitch pattern. ill be making an afghan size blanket. I have started over 3 times because its not laying flat. I'm using a med 4 yarn and hook H/8. its almost like its ruffling. any suggestions? thank you

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Terri! So sorry you are getting stuck in the beginning! Make your starting chain with a larger size hook - by a full size (+1mm) or even 2mm. Start with a quick chain 20, and then work back with your stitches for a row. Stretch your work... the foundation chain should almost have the same stretch as the top row of stitches. Does that make sense? Hope that helps! You can also see a bit of the technique in my latest tutorial - just watch the beginning few minutes - until I stretch the chain. Hope that helps? Christa. xx! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnK2qGuqrJ6Dps0

só beautiful...

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you, Juli ana! Great question! 🌈🌼🌸

[@mcspicegirl1]

Beautiful! I am just finishing my tulip blanket and am going to use your tutorial for the border. Do you sew in the ends of each row before putting on the border? I didn't see it on either of the tutorials. Thanks again and will post finished blanket when done!

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, mcspicegirl1!! Yes I did. :) xx

[@christinnascreations9072]

Awesome! Luv yah 💕

[@rickilieberman2136]

I made a beautiful Tulip Stitch Baby Blanket, now what did you use for the border? I have 3 colors of pink for my tulips, so I would like to end with 3 colors of pink?

[@jennvb99]

Still kind of a newbie to crotchet so maybe a dumb question.. can 2 rows of double crochets work the same as 4 rows of single?

[@mecfstraveler]

Great tutorial! Thank you! I am still trying to figure out how to do this when making a top down shawl. I have need to do the flower blossom row first and Then the leaves. My brain can't wrap itself around the concept and visualize the pattern stitches and how they go together.. .. 😞

[@SecretYarnery]

Yes!! That is a tricky one! Perhaps chart it out on paper? To see what it looks like? Keep me posted! Christa. xx!!

[@reesieleebunch]

This would be a precious baby hat or blanket. How would I make it a baby bonnet?

[@reesieleebunch]

or a border on a blanket

[@jeanshouse412]

What yarn did you use have red heart

[@ninafrank7844]

Great video. Approximately how many should I chain for a 30" wide baby blanket? If I make a chain 30" long, would that equal a 30" wide blanket?

[@SecretYarnery]

Yes! That is how you would calculate it. xx!!

[@diannewilson6314]

Are the leaves and flowers suppose to be in line with each other as you make rows up the Afghan?

[@HerMajesty866]

LOVE IT!

[@SecretYarnery]

Yes I sure can! What a great idea. I'll have one up next week. Thanks! Christa. xx!

[@2Arcticwolves]

Christa, I've made a boo, boo, with the placement of the green, I only skipped one sc instead of two, would that still be ok? I'm using DK yarn with a 4.5mm hook Thank you. :)

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, 2Arcticwolves! Oh no! Sorry for not seeing this right away! What have you done to resolve it? I think it just won't lay as flat - you will have too many flowers side by side. Did it work out? xx

[@2Arcticwolves]

I ended up frogging it, that will teach me not to pay attention won't it? I am taking a hiatus from it for a little while, my fingers were hurting. :)

[@rebekahaustin7971]

My daughter wants them into a dress 😅 help.. how do I do it in the round...??

[@LadySoul4ever]

Are the tulips supposed to line up in each row? Mine are not lining up exactly.

[@aletasneed3832]

Love it Love It ..Aleta Sneed

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you!

[@luisaroa2396]

Love this design thank you for the video. If I can make a suggestion - please try to keep the Crochet in the middle if you can. There were times that the crocheting was cut from view. I am trying this as soon as I finish my Granny Square blanket. Thank you again.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks Luisa! I struggle to not move my arms when I crochet during the videos - you don't THINK you are moving, but then sure enough - you have! Hopefully with more experience I will get better at not moving my arms. Rest assured I am trying! Thanks so much watching. Christa. xx!!

[@HerMajesty866]

Hi! I am still new to crochet {1 year}, would you be able to tell me the size/type of yarn you used for this project? Thank you, Jamaca [West Virginia]

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Jamaca! Welcome to a wonderful life of crochet! I used regular craft yarn (like Red Heart Super Saver) for this tutorial. Just the basic acrylic yarn. It's a size 4, technically. But you can use any yarn you have - just use the hook size that is recommended for your yarn!

[@HerMajesty866]

Thank you and I LOVE TO CROCHET!

[@luanne115]

Can you share the brand and colors you used?

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Luanne! We just use regular ol' craft yarn. It is produced in Kenya. It would be similar to Red Heart Super Saver. Christa. xx!

[@jessicarojahn9302]

I have been trying to make a blanket of this with a different video/pattern. I keep messing up how many stitches are across when I do the foundation color. if I make a chain of 180 plus the final 2, should I have 181 stitches in each row between flower/stem rows?

[@SecretYarnery]

The foundation row can be so tricky! Basically - you need a stitch count that is divisible by 3. If it works out wrong, you can always "adjust" your stitches... ;) xx!

[@sandrawijckmans4306]

which yarn and which color did you use of ice yarns for this? thank you

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Sandra Wijckmans!! This was made with Kenyan acrylic (before I discovered Ice Yarn!) I would use Saver 100 for it - great body and durability. bit.ly/2ImrKhT xx

[@chrishicks5359]

I am interested to know how you figure out the foundation color amount for a baby blanket (approx 36" square). I have lots of scrap material for tulips, can change color of tulips if needed ...I am thinking of using a large amount of foundation color, but need to know how much...would appreciate guidance.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Chris! What a great project! I would make a foundation chain about 36" long, and not care too much about the stitch count. When you are making the foundation chain, keep counting to 3 as you go along: (1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3) so you know that the final number will be divisible by 3. Chain 1 more, and work your way back with single crochet. :) Hope that helps? Christa. xx!

[@chrishicks5359]

Thank you! I will try that.

[@aichiachang5866]

Thanks. I've been looking for the answer about the length and lucky enough to see your reply here.

[@dilshadrajan830]

C

[@sandrawijckmans4306]

Is this with de ICE yarns

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Sandra Wijckmans!! No it is not, but if it was, I would have picked Saver 100. bit.ly/2ImrKhT

[@jessicarojahn9302]

I have two single crochets left at the end when I am doing the stems, why do you only have 1 in the video? what did we do different?

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Jessica! The pattern is in multiples of 3... so one one side you have 1 single crochet, and the other side you have 2. Does that make sense? Or help? Christa. xx!

[@jessicarojahn9302]

Thimbles of Hope . I think so. I just need to learn to be ok with it not being perfection. if anything is slightly off I worry!

[@marilyncline7596]

BEAUTIFUL PATTERN BUT IT IS HARD TO SEE CAUSE IT IS SO BLURRY

[@pauladowd3835]

The tutorial is awesome. There was only one issue. You did not need to go over and over how you joined your new color. It became very annoying. BTW if you used the Russian knot or the Magic knot you wouldn't have had to drive use crazy with your tails every time you changed colors.

[@kellytelladira]

Really hard to see what your doing. Your hands and project are out of the screen. If it wasn't for your verbal instructions, wouldn't be able to figure out what your doing. It worked for what it was worth anyway.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Kelly Jo! I know, and am so sorry! It's a real challenge to keep the camera zoomed in enough to see the stitches, and far enough away to keep my hands in the field of view... This year I am keeping the camera zoomed out more. Thanks for watching! Christa. xx!
