Sharing is caring!

Let me quickly tell you how I end up making this tiny crochet  butterfly pattern.

From the previous post, I made a crochet flower crown, reversible flower crown, and flower headband.

Ohhh…. yeah, I love crocheted flowers and all things girly girl lol…… I knew you might like it too!

So after I crochet lots of flower headbands and my idea was to crochet a bunch of butterflies and turn them into the headband and had a pretty photo shoot with it.

Oh well, these crochet butterflies’ applique did not turn into the headband was a failed attempt lol.

Anyway, they are all so teeny tiny, and pretty aren’t they am I right? would you want to make one?

Easy crochet butterfly pattern.

This easy crochet butterfly embellishment pattern is great for scrappy yarn projects and perfect for your additional springtime.

It’s perfect for beginners and a quick yarn project to keep you company while watching TV at night you can whip them up in less than 15 minutes.

They are versatile to use for a brooch, glue a magnet on it and stick on your refrigerator, also a great idea for bedroom wall decor and much more depending on your creative craftsy is no limit.

With this butterflies pattern, you can whip up a dozen before your favorite television show is over!

Unlike a lot of crochet patterns, these butterfly design is crocheted all in one piece so it is no sews at all how convenient it can be? and they don’t take a lot of yarn.

Love that! It’s especially good news if you have a big bag of leftover yarn scraps from other knitting or crochet projects.

It also makes this free crochet pattern ideal for using in schools or assisted living communities when you volunteer, as most times the yarn is donated in odd quantities and there’s never quite enough to complete a full project.
