Pattern Basic Points

Key Construction Elements

The tulip features two main components: a single leaf formed with varied puff stitches for shape and a sturdy, rounded flower body.
A crocheted chain is used as a seamless and flexible keychain loop.
The pattern is designed in three simple sections-leaf, flower, and assembly-allowing for clear focus on each stage.

Highlights for Structure & Finish

The leaf's asymmetrical puff pattern mimics a real tulip leaf, while the amigurumi flower is classically shaped for stability and visual appeal.
All parts are worked seamlessly where possible, and elegant joining ensures durability suitable for daily handling as a keyholder.

Special Notes

Puff stitch sizes are increased and then decreased to create the natural curve of the leaf. Follow the order and yarn-over counts closely.
Maintain firm but not tight tension-especially on the flower-to keep the stuffing from showing.
The flower rounds are continuous spirals; use a stitch marker to avoid confusion.
A small amount of stuffing is needed-do not overfill the flower for best shape.

- Insert a small amount of stuffing into the flower (do not overstuff; just enough for shape).
- Weave yarn end through each stitch at flower's opening and pull tight to close, shaping the top as a gentle point.
- Secure and hide all yarn ends inside.
