Description
This crochet tulip stem ornament is a single pink flower on a long green stem, a tulip that stays in bloom however long it stands. The flower head is worked in close, even crochet stitches, with rounded petals that cup together the way a tulip does in early spring, their tips just turning outwards. A slim green leaf, crocheted in the same way, rises from the stem and curves up beside the flower. At 35cm it has the height of a single tulip from the florist, so it looks right standing on its own in a slim vase.
Stand it in a narrow bud vase on a windowsill, a desk, a bedside table or the mantelpiece, where one stem of pink lifts a plain corner without taking up any room. Because it is crochet rather than a fresh flower, it never needs water and never drops petals. That makes it a good fit for places where cut flowers are awkward: a high shelf, a busy hallway table or a desk at work you are not at every day. It makes a small, cheerful gift in its own right, handed over in place of a bunch of flowers or tucked into a parcel alongside something else.
Petals, stem and leaf are all worked in crochet, the petals in pink and the stem and leaf in green, with the stitches made closely so the cupped shape holds. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush. If a mark appears, dab it gently with a barely damp cloth and let it dry fully before it goes back in the vase. For a gift, wrap the stem in tissue and tie it with a length of ribbon. For the home, it looks its best in a narrow vase where the leaf can curve freely.
