Cannot wait to make one for my she-colleague who actually found this pattern herself. It is really really sweet looking butterfly doll. Thank you very much for sharing this – allowing us to crochet some happiness. 🙂
Thank you!!!
Love the pattern this will be my first to try, thank you for the pattern
Thank you for the patterns. They are all so cute. I am from Portugal.
Thank you, Anabela! 🌷💕
Hice la mariposa y la marquita!!! Hermosas!!! Gracias por compartir tus bellos patrones!!!! Mil gracias!!!!
Thank you for this good pattern, I’m from Indonesia
I’m curious…if it’s free why can’t it be copied? I love this pattern and thanks for sharing.
Very cute, but can’t seem to be able to save it to be able to print the pattern out later.
I love how you have it written that someone who can barely read patterns can crochet this.
I’m making the butterfly to place on shelf next to our granddaughter Grace’s ashes. Almost done, it’s turning out so cute! Thank you for for the pattern.
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you next project Mary:-)
Oh my gosh. These are the most cutest patterns, a couple of years ago, I wrote a children’s poem called Hey Little Bug. And both the butterfly and the lady bug are in the poem. I made both of them so easy and the finished product is adorable. I used a 3.5mm the butterfly is 10in from foot to antenna, and the ladybug is 11.5in from foot to antenna. I plan to turn my poem into a little book, made especially for my 1yr old and 4 yr old nieces, and give them one of these cute crafts. So happy.
What brand of yarn did you use for this pattern?
You can use any acrylic baby yarn.
HOLA BUENAS TARDES…..SOY PRINCIPIANTE EN ESTE TIPO DE TEJIDO MINIATURA…..ME ENCANTA TODO LO QUE PUBLICAN….

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! 🙂🌷
