🌷 How to Crochet a Tulip Net Pouch
Step 1: Base Chain
- Start by chaining a multiple of 6 + 1 (e.g., 37 chains for a small pouch).
- Add one chain for turning.
Step 2: Row 1 – Tulip Stitch Setup
- SC in the second chain from hook.
- Skip 2 chains, [DC, ch1, DC] in the next chain (creates a V-stitch), skip 2, SC in next.
- Repeat pattern across the row.
- Turn your work.
Step 3: Row 2 – Tulip Flowers
- Chain 3 (counts as first DC), work 3 DC in the ch-1 space of previous row’s V-stitch.
- Skip next SC, SC in next ch-1 space.
- Continue across with [3 DC in V-stitch, SC in next ch space].
- Turn.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your fabric reaches desired size (usually 12–20 rows depending on pouch depth).
🧵 Assembly Instructions
- Fold the fabric in half lengthwise (like a book).
- Seam the sides using whip stitch or slip stitch.
- Add a drawstring or ribbon around the top row if desired—thread it through the open loops or add eyelets for a clean finish.
- Optional: Crochet a border at the top using single crochets for a more defined edge.
💡 Tips for Success
- Block your finished pouch gently to open up the tulip net stitch and show off the floral texture.
- For a sturdier pouch, line it with fabric using basic sewing techniques.
- Embellish with tiny crochet flowers, buttons, or beads for a unique look.
