Crochet Tutorial: Tulip Stitch
The crochet Tulip Stitch is a very nice stitch, easy to make. It is also known as the “Diagonal Box Stitch”, because in fact it creates double crochet boxes that take opposite directions.
It is a reversible crochet stitch with a compact texture, which makes it particularly suitable for blankets, shawls or bags. And why not, for a garment, such as a top or cardigan.
For the above swatch, we’ve used:
- 4 mm/US G6 beechwood crochet hook – you can choose the right needle size adjusting to your yarn and tension
- Bettaknit Pima Cotton yarn – color Hazelnut
