Good afternoon dear friends!

Today we have a summer theme dedicated to butterflies, but not live ones, but knitted ones. I have collected for you patterns for crocheting butterflies from various Internet sources, from simple small butterflies to interesting openwork ones, for both experienced and novice needlewomen. For the latter I made a short description.

Butterflies always symbolize a certain airiness, lightness, love and joy, beauty and longevity.

We always enjoy watching them in nature, and many decorate their homes with artificial butterflies.

Application of crocheted butterflies

Just like paper and textile, crocheted butterflies can be decorated with:

• sofa cushions
• , and you can give the napkins different shapes: square, triangular, and oval
• chair covers
• bags
• curtains
• lampshades
• room walls

Butterflies can be hung from a ceiling lamp, planted on a large indoor flower, or made into a butterfly panel.

Here, for example, is the idea of ​​​​a luxurious curtain with crocheted fillet butterflies and with hanging separately crocheted butterflies. I am attaching the diagrams.

It is better to knit butterflies from cotton or linen with a hook corresponding to the thickness of the thread. Use bright threads of different colors.

Small crochet butterfly

I would like to highlight this interesting pattern of a very simple little butterfly. It looks like a bow.

According to this pattern, the butterfly is knitted in just two rows.

Knit in the round, as napkins are usually knitted.

We start with 4 VPs closed in a ring.

In the 1st row: four times 3 double crochets and arches of 14 air loops between them.

In the 2nd row, the arches from the VP are tied with columns with one, two, three, four and five crochets, and then in the reverse order.

Separately, we knit a mustache: a chain of air loops and a series of half-columns on it.

Pattern and description of crocheting a thick butterfly for beginners

If you want to get a dense, small-sized butterfly, this proposed pattern will suit you.

2. 3VP, 7S1N

We finish knitting the upper and lower wings separately. Here you can attach a thread of a different color.

2. 3VP, 4S1N, 1S2N, 2S2N, knitted together

Crochet patterns for openwork butterflies

I will no longer analyze each pattern for crocheting butterflies, but I will describe the basic principles.

According to some patterns, butterflies are knitted in a continuous manner without tearing off the thread, starting from the center, in rotating rows, with both left and right wings at once. Only the tips of the wings can be tied separately.

According to other patterns, knitting begins with the body of the butterfly, and then the wings are knitted separately, attaching them to the body.

And we have already discussed another way to knit a butterfly in a publication about napkins. Such butterflies are knitted like a small round flower and folded in half, they turn out double and seem to be fluttering.

A knitted decoration in the shape of a butterfly can be used both independently and as a decor for knitted children's clothing (sundress, hat, headband), handmade spring composition, holiday card, hairpin, children's bag. Thanks to our master class, you will very quickly and easily crochet a delicate butterfly, which you can later use at your discretion.

Step-by-step description of crocheting a butterfly

Let's cast on eight blue loops and close them into a ring.

We will tie this ring with twenty-four double crochets, one of which will be replaced at the beginning of the row with three double crochets.

Now we will make five air stitches and a connecting stitch in the second loop of the base and in the third. We repeat seven more times.

Let's join the connecting column in the previous row.

We tie all the arches like this.

Now we attach the lilac yarn. And we make two air ones. We are already knitting five columns with three air columns under the arch.

From these air stitches we make picots and knit five more stitches. We make two chain stitches and knit a connecting stitch into the connecting stitch of the previous row.

We get a flower.

Fold it in half.

We make a black air chain of twenty-seven to thirty loops.

And we bandage our butterfly with it, bringing the antennae up.
