ButterFlowers

12 large afghan squares – stash eater

Great for finishing your stash (each square uses 2 balls of yarn of different contrasting colours)

Turn them into placemats, table runners, blankets, pillows
12 different squares of 4 butterflies on each square

The pattern is extensive and comes in 4 techniques:
overlay mosaic crochet row to row and in the round, 95 by 95 stitches or 47 rounds
interlocking filet crochet row to row and in the round, 47 x 47 windows or 47 rounds
Please select the square and technique first before you print

All techniques come with tutorials, abbreviation index, written pattern and charts. For overlay mosaic I have added a larger X-chart (4 pages for each square) for printing. For interlocking filet crochet in the round I have added pictures on how your start trellis should look
