When it comes to beautiful and elegant, but fast stitch patterns, crocheting the tulip stitch is for sure on the top of the list. In this detailed photo and video tutorial, you will learn how to crochet the tulip stitch pattern. This stitch looks actually very similar and almost the same as the Corner to Croner (C2C) stitch pattern, but it is made horizontally rather than diagonally.
The Tulip Crochet Stitch can be made into many different things such as blankets, scarves, hats or anything else that is easier a crocheted square, rectangle or three-dimensional circle. I am pretty sure, I will use this stitch for my next blanket pattern. My brain is already spinning with ideas on which colors to use and how big to make it.
I can even imagine this stitch for a wonderful bag that has some lining inside such that the bag does not get too draggy when adding items such as your yarn skeins or crochet projects. Alright, I will get out my crochet project journal and get my ideas down before I will forget them.
MY LATEST VIDEOSIn the meantime, let me teach you how to crochet this amazing textured tulip stitch which is made mainly out of double crochets and single crochets and chains. Having single crochets in this stitch pattern is one of the few things that makes this stitch different from the corner to corner stitch pattern.

1. Make a chain of a multiple of 4 plus 5 for the turning chain. Next, crochet 3 dc in the 5th ch from the hook. *Skip 3 chains and place 1 sc in the next ch. Ch 3 and place 3 dc in the same st as the sc. Now repeat from * until the end stopping after the last sc is placed. Turn
2. Next, chain 5 (some tutorials make it with 4) and place 3 dc in the 5th ch from the hook (in the 4th ch if you made only 4 chains). *Skip [1sc, 3 dc] and place 1 sc in the ch-3 space. Chain 3 and place 3 dc’s in the same ch-3 space. Repeat from * until the end of the row finishing with 1 sc. Turn
3. Now, you will repeat step 2 until you are finished with your project.
4. Once you have crocheted the Tulip Stitch for several rows, it should look like this. It is a very beautiful stitch that will remind anyone of the Corner to Corner stitch pattern. Now you will also have an easier time crocheting horizontal color stripes with a stitch pattern that looks like the C2C, but it is not.

Do you think this stitch can be used to make a graphghan? I’ve only started crocheting simple graphghans with c2c, but am looking for a graphghan stitch that can be done horizontally. Thank you for sharing this stitch.
Nicole Riley
Yes, you can. It might actually be easier as it is horizontal and the color changes follow that direction.
