The pattern includes:

  • 4 different Monarch butterfly patterns (both right- and left-handed versions)
  • Detailed instructions on how the cutout tapestry is made
  • Stitch Fiddle links to the graph charts
  • Printable graph charts
  • Detailed row-by-row written instructions

Materials Needed:
• Yarn in 3 different colors
• Crochet hook (size corresponding to the yarn you use)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Black wire (optional for the antennae; I used 0.7 mm thick wire)

I made all 4 butterfly patterns using each of these yarns, and I had enough with just one skein per color:

Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat

Colors used: Black (110), Tangerine (281), Snow White (106)

Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/4

Colors used: Black (124), Orange (30), White (01)

Scheepjes Catona
Hook used: 3 mm
Colors used: Jet Black (110), Tangerine (281), Snow White (106)

Finished sizes will vary depending on your tension, yarn choice, and hook size.
