The garden’s fire with joyful blaze. Oh, tulips in the morning rays.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’ll be quite honest, I find tulips both beautiful, but somehow slightly creepy. I think it’s just me though. This particular bloom requires 50-80m of yarn in a background colour, pink (or other tulip colour), green, and a small amount of black. You may need to tack the petals together so that they stay in a proper cup shape.

Suitable for intermediate crocheters.

Squares are worked with worsted-weight yarn and a size H hook. Larger or smaller squares can be worked by changing yarn/hook size or by working more/fewer rounds.
