Assembly:
1. Sew the head to the body.
2. Sew the arms on the sides of the body below the neck seam.
3. Put the cap on the head and sew it.
4. Weave in all the yarn tails of the wing parts with the tapestry needle. The wrong side should look neat. Sew two lower parts of the wings together, as well as upper parts. Then sew lower parts to the upper parts as it’s shown in the picture.
Sew wings to the back.
5. Now we’re going to make antennae. They’re placed between 12th and 13th rounds (4 stitches between them).
Cut 9 strands of grey yarn of about 20 cm length. Insert all strands in the head with the help of tapestry needle (insert the needle into the location of first antenna and draw it out at the location of second antenna). See the picture.
When all 9 strands are inserted, divide them into three parts (each antenna has 3 strands) and make two braids (weave very tightly). Note that braids should be of the same length. Fix the braids and cut off the excess.
6. Sew flowers to the side of the cap. Attach pearl beads to the center of each flower.
7. Sew flower medallion on the appropriate place.

merci pour ces très jolis modèles, j’adore en faire, ça me passe le temps, on voudrai les faire tous
Merci!
Just love the them all ! I have been looking for something to crochet for my step granddaughter and she loves butterflies they remind her of her Mom. Her mom was horribly murdered in front of her at the age of 8 ,she is now 13 and it’s so hard to figure out something to make her . I’m only a beginner would love to attempt this and crochet her mom’s name or something as a keepsake in memory of her.
I hope that you managed to make the butterfly and that your grand daughter loved it. Too much tragedy for a child to handle
Thank you for your patterns. I made the ladybug for my 2 years old daughter and she loved it. I’ll do the bitterfly next.
Thank you, Asja! 🙂🌷
