2026 Stitch Sampler Scrapghan CAL – Part 6: Tulip Stitch

Welcome back to the 2026 Stitch Sampler Scrapghan Crochet Along! 🌸 We’re heading into Week 6, and this week’s stitch might be one of the prettiest yet—the Tulip Stitch.

With its soft, angled shells and gentle movement, this stitch fits our flower and garden theme perfectly. If you’ve ever worked the slanted shell stitch, this one will feel familiar—it’s very similar, with a slightly different placement that gives it that lovely tulip-inspired look.

About the Tulip Stitch

The Tulip Stitch creates a repeating pattern of slanted shells that resemble little blooming flowers lined up across your blanket. It has a beautiful flow to it and adds a softer, decorative texture compared to some of the more structured stitches we’ve used so far.

Why you’ll love this stitch:

• 🌷 Floral-inspired texture that feels light and elegant
• 🧶 Similar to the slanted shell stitch, so it’s easy to learn
• ✨ Adds movement and visual interest
• 💕 Works beautifully in both solids and color changes

This stitch brings a gentle, decorative break in the sampler—perfect for balancing out the denser textures from previous weeks.

Pattern notes & stitches to know
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
rs – right side
ws – wrong side

· written in US terms

· ch 2 does not count as dc

· This stitch requires a starting chain that is a mult of 4

· chains do not count in end row stitch count

· to find the end row stitch count for a different size blanket: take your original stitch count and subtract 2, divide by 4, mult by 3, then add 3 (I think… lol)

· Row 1 is 1 less than the stitch count for the remainder

· This stitch looks great with any color combinations. I used 3 colors and changed color every row.

· If you use 3 colors and change color every row, do not fasten off. Carry the yarn.

Scrapghan Tips

· This blanket will use different hook sizes depending on the stitch. Some stitches work up tighter than others. Even with changing hook sizes, the blanket will not have completely straight edges.

· Feel free to adjust your hook size according to how you crochet.

· This blanket requires a foundation row that is a multiple of 24 + 2.

· The starting chain requirement for this particular stitch is given in the pattern notes (this may or may not match what was used for the entire blanket). This is just a note given for use of this stitch in other projects, not for this blanket.

· Each part starts over at row 1 of that stitch. Be sure to place a stitch marker and the last stitch of each part to mark where the next part begins.
