In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the mini tulip stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The mini tulip stitch is a repeat of one row. It is a very simple stitch suitable for crochet beginners. This stitch is reversible and looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: curry, and a 2.0 mm hook.
