Tulip crochet pattern — two blooms on two stems, 41 rounds written out
A bunch of two tulips standing about 11 cm tall, each bloom about 2.5 cm across, worked on a 2.5 mm hook in two colours over about two hours. The stem is the odd list here: twenty-five rounds of the same six stitches with no shaping anywhere in them, and a length of floral wire slid inside is the only thing that holds a tulip up. Every one of the 41 rounds is written out below across three lists that make four pieces, and every round shows the stitch count it finishes on.
Maths verified, not yet made. Every one of the 41 rounds was checked against the round before it by machine — the counts, the increases and the decreases all add up. What nobody can promise you yet is how it sits in the hand.How we check

Not yet checked
- 4 render matches the pattern — no image has been compared against its own prompt, so a render showing a piece the rounds do not make would not be caught here. Nothing has counted how many do.
- 6a recognisability — provenance.recognisability is empty in every pattern, so there is no feature list to check the parts against.
Why it is rated Easy
Easy rather than beginner: the stem is twenty-five rounds of six stitches worked on a 2.5 mm hook, and the wire has to go in before the top closes.

Tight stitches throughout. The bloom is eight rounds and stuffed, so a loose fabric lets the filling show at the tip, and the stem is only six stitches around and wants to be dense enough to grip the wire inside it.
Finished size
~11 cm tall, each bloom ~2.5 cm across
