Spring Tulips Square – Free Crochet Pattern
We’ve all heard “April showers bring May flowers”, but here in New England sometimes there’s a peek at color in April. Crochet this pretty tulips square to celebrate the arrival of spring.
So, our c2c bonus square for April has some pretty tulips to give us some warmer days to look forward to. Make them all the same color or all different colors. Either way they will bring some beauty to your blanket.

HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS BLANKET
The Holiday Celebrations Blanket will be 12 months of patterns – one releasing each month, plus 6 bonuses if you’d like to swap one out for something else. Some months will be holiday squares, some will celebrate other things such as the seasons. At the end of the year you’ll have a finished blanket!
You have the option to purchase the bundle at a discount so you can make each square at your own pace. That way you don’t have to worry about coming back each month for the new pattern of the month.
Why holiday squares?
My 14 (almost 15) year old daughter wanted to crochet one of my c2c squares. That led into an entire conversation of her asking if she could make “a bunch of squares” for me and make them into a blanket for herself. Why, yes you can!
So we talked for a while and came up with a plan for a whole blanket circling around the holidays and what we celebrate each month.
The April bonus is this pretty tulips square to celebrate spring!
Let’s show April some love! Choose your own colors or work it in the colors we used.
If you’d like to see all the squares from the blanket, you can see the Holiday Celebrations Blanket HERE.
