Crochet Pattern Supplies
- 4.5mm hook (or as desired)
- 4/Med weight yarn
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Optional: Beads
Crochet Stitch Glossary:
Terminology: US English
- CH = Chain
- DC = Double Crochet
- SLST = Slip Stitch
- 2 TC TOG = 2 Treble Crochet Together
- F/O = Fasten Off
Pattern Directions:
First Wing:
- CH 5
- 1 DC into the last chain from the hook. We will be working all future stitches into this chain space. I will refer to it as the “base stitch.” You may want to mark it to make it easier to find as we go. (See the stitch with the needle through it.)
- CH 3, slst in the base stitch.
Second Wing:
- CH 4
- 2TCTOG
- CH 3
- slst back into the base stitch. This is the end of the 2nd wing.
Third Wing:
- CH 4
- 2TCTOG
- CH 3
- Slst back into the base stitch.
This is the end of the 3rd wing.
Fourth Wing:
- CH 4
- 1 DC into the base stitch
- CH 3
- Slst back into the base stitch.
This completes the 4th wing. - F/o, leave a long tail for the next step.
Finishing the Butterfly:
- Wrap the long yarn tail around the center of the butterfly to form the body.
- On your last wrap around, add one or more beads using your yarn needle.
- Knot your yarn tails on the back of the butterfly to secure. Leave them in tact until you’re ready to use the applique.
