Just like all crochet patterns we have made, this one to is especial and has a special place in our hearts.
We made it easy to learn, mix multiple vibrant shades, perfect for beginners .
In regard to the butterfly’s wings, we crocheted a magic loop per 8 sets of 3 double crochet stitches & 2 chain stitches to form the upper and lower cylindrical wings. Color combinations and stitch order were then done according to the desired aesthetic to create beautifully refined intricate wings.
The wings were layered over one another and to form the body of the butterfly, we pinched together the halves so it could be appropriately refuse.
To complete the the butterfly, we choose a yellow yarn, 32 chain stitches length and then shaped them around the wings core forming a knot to create the antennae.
