Butterflies are beautiful to look at. Although there are nearly 160, 000 different species worldwide, we find them rarely in nature and unfortunately there is no opportunity in our homes to see these ornate, colorful creatures. Why not do it like us and just crochet a butterfly. In the following instructions, we show exactly how to do it.

How good that you can crochet a butterfly - or even several. With the help of a relatively simple crochet technique, you can bring your very own biodiversity to life.

Crochet material to the butterfly

Decorative crochet work I find particularly attractive when working with mercerized cotton. The yarn is stable and can be beautifully shaped. In addition, it has a slight shine, which brings the crocheted butterfly particularly to advantage. In addition, the cotton is offered in a seemingly endless variety of colors, which promises a colorful, varied butterfly creation.

• Catania of Schachenmayr,

  Sandy from ONline
• Also: 1 crochet hook in the appropriate thickness and a blunt sewing needle

Butterfly I

Start: Start with a thread ring.

Round 1: Crochet the following stitches into the thread ring: 3 air stitches, 1 stick, 2 air stitches, * 2 sticks, 2 air stitches * - * * Repeat 7 times. Pull the loop together loosely and close the round with a chain stitch.

Round 2: 3 Transition Air Meshes (to replace one rod), three Air Meshes, * 2 Chopsticks, 3 Air Meshes * - * * Repeat 6 times, 1 stick. The chopsticks are crocheted in each case around the Luftmaschenbögen of the preliminary round. End of round: Kettmasche in the 3rd transition air mesh.

Round 3: 3 Transition Air Meshes (as a substitute for a chopsticks), 2 sticks, three air stitches, 3 sticks - * 3 sticks, 3 air stitches, 3 sticks * - * * Repeat 7 times. The chopsticks are crocheted in each case around the Luftmaschenbögen of the preliminary round. End of round: Kettmasche in the 3rd transition air mesh.

Round 4: (If you want, you can use a new color for Round 4) * 12 sticks around the airmesh bow of the preliminary round, 1 warp stitch into the space of the Prison Round Chopsticks *. Crochet this stitch * * a total of eight times.

Round 5: Final Round - Crochet 1 tight stitch into each round 4 stitch.

Sew the threads on the back. Now the crochet circle is folded and you can already see the crocheted butterfly.

Now crochet the butterfly's body with the feelers: Beat 17 pieces of air and crochet them back on this chain of stitches as follows: 5 strong stitches in the 2nd stitch (1st stitch remains unbacked), 5 warp stitches in the 3rd - 7th stitch. Mesh. Now the 1st sensor is ready. Crochet from here on 7 new air stitches for the 2nd feeler, on the 2nd. Feeler along back: 5 strong stitches in the 2nd stitch (1st stitch remains uncoated), 5 warp stitches in the 3rd - 7th stitch. Back on the butterfly's body, crochet tight stitches along the chain. Starting from here for the rear butterfly body, make 9 new air stitches and crochet 8 solid loops (the 9th air stitch = 1st air stitch - transition air stitch - for the back row of fixed stitches) along this new chain of stitches. Cut the thread a little bit longer and pull it through the last stitch.

Now the body only needs to be adjusted and sewn and the crocheted butterfly can fly off! Flip the body over from front to back and sew it with the remaining working thread of the butterfly's body. Pierce them from the front to the back, then back to front.
