how to crochet tulip book cover & sleeve | free pattern + video tutorial for beginner-friendly tulip stitch


Hi everyone! This is the companion pattern for my youtube tutorial. Please keep in mind that you can customize these patterns to make your piece ANY SIZE. Always refer to the video tutorial if you're confused for a clear demonstration.

ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet / dc - double crochet

Book Cover

Front:

Chain a length that's the same as the width of your book (the total number of chains should be a multiple of 3 + 2)

Row 1 - skip the 1st chain then sc into every chain

Row 2 - chain 1, turn your work, sc into every stitch, change colours to green in the last sc

LEAVES Row 3 - chain 4, turn your work, dc into the 1st stitch, repeat *skip 2 stitches, dc into 3rd stitch, chain 2, dc in the same stitch*, change colours to pink in the last dc

TULIPS Row 4 - chain 2, repeat *insert a 5 dc cluster into every chain 2 space, chain 2*, change colors to white in the last cluster

Row 5 - chain 1, repeat *1 sc in every tulip stitch, 2 sc in every chain 2 space*

Row 6 - chain 1, turn your work, sc into every stitch

Row 7 onwards - repeat the steps for the leaves, tulips, and plain rows until the cover is the same size as your book

Border:

Attach your yarn in the right-hand bottom corner of the front pieces - ss along all 4 edges

Book spine:

Crochet rows of sc until the piece covers the spine of your book (do not chain 1 when starting a new row, simply turn your work and sc into the 1st stitch)

Back:

Crochet rows of dc until the piece covers the back of your book (do not chain 2 when starting a new row, simply turn your work and dc into the 1st stitch)

Clasps (do this on all 4 corners of your cover, work on the back side):

Attach your yarn with a knot, chain 3-4 (make sure it's tight), slip stitch to join back, fasten off


Sleeve (you can make this any size and use it for your laptop, ipad, book, etc)

Chain the length that you want (the total number of chains should be a multiple of 3)

Round 1 - Skip the 2 chains near your hook then dc into the 3rd chain, dc into every chain, insert 2 more dc in the last chain

Dc into the other side of the chains as well, insert 1 more dc into the last chain

The total number of dc stitches should be a multiple of 3 + 1, then ss into the chain 2

Round 2 - chain 2, dc into every stitch, insert hook into the chain 2 then change colours

LEAVES Round 3: chain 4, dc into the 1st stitch, repeat *skip 2 stitches, dc into 3rd stitch, chain 2, dc in the same stitch*, insert hook into the chain 4 then change colours

TULIPS Round 4: chain 2, repeat *insert a 3 dc cluster into every chain 2 space, chain 2*, insert hook into the chain 2 then change colours

Round 5 - chain 2, repeat *1 dc in every tulip stitch, 2 dc in every chain 2 space*, ss into chain 2

Round 6 - chain 2, dc in every stitch

Round 7 onwards - repeat the steps for the leaves, tulips, and plain rounds until the sleeve is the size you want

Hi everyone! Here's the written pattern for rounds 1-12 of my heart cushion cover. You can find the demonstration/steps for rounds 1-5 and  how to read this pattern and make the stitches in my youtube tutorial . Abbreviations: ch - chain / sc - single crochet / hdc - half double crochet / dc - double crochet / ss - slip stitch Please note that  the steps on ending each round and attaching a new color to your work  (ss + ch 1)  are explained with demonstrations in my youtube tutorial.

how to crochet a cute bunny | free pattern + video tutorial

Image
Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for my YouTube tutorial . Please refer to the video for demonstrations if you're confused. This is a very repetitive pattern, so follow the same steps shown to crochet all the rounds. Once you're done, you can add some ribbons & bows to make your bunny look even cuter - happy crocheting! Note:  all the pieces are worked in continuous rounds, so don't forget to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round and track your rounds.  To make crocheting this bunny (and other amigurumi projects!) easier, I recommend downloading the  Row Counter app . I love using the counter to keep track of my rounds and the highlighter to easily find the steps I'm working on. You can import this pattern to the app and start crocheting!
