Crochet Butterfly Pattern

You can use any size hook or type of yarn.

Experiment to change the look and size of your butterfly.

Abbreviations:

sl st = slip stitch

ch = chain

bl = back loop

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

tr = triple crochet

Butterfly Pattern:
Ch. 5 loosely
3 dc in 3rd ch from hook; ch 2 sl st in same ch
sl st in next ch; ch 3, 2 tr st in same ch
2 tr st in next ch, ch 3, sl st in same ch

Working in the back loops:
ch 3, 2 tr st in first bl
2 tr st in next bl, ch 3, sl st in same bl
sl st in next bl, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st in same bl

Working up the center:
Evenly space 3 sc up the center.

Pull the yarn up a little for the antennae and tie into a small knot, then cut off the loop.

Fasten off and weave in the ends.

You can add tiny rhinestones to the butterflies (or not!) and attach them to lots of different things:

sewn on clothes
a magic wand accessory
a hair clip
a hair pin
or
on a long or short crocheted chain (or ribbon) for a necklace or ring for your Darling Stinker!


I've been crocheting for over 25 years, but this is the first crochet pattern I've written down for others to follow.
It may not be completely error-free.
If you have any questions, please email me.

POST-IT-NOTE:
My crochet hook came from The Fanciful Feline on Etsy.
I love Jenn's pretty hooks, plus they are comfortable to use.
I almost have an entire set!

One of the bestest helpful crochet books I've ever read is The Crochet Answer Book.
It will help you with practically any crochet problem and answer just about anything to do with crocheting.
It doesn't matter if you're an experienced crocheter or a beginner - this is an awesome reference book!
Plus, it's small enough to slip in your purse.
