Crochet Butterfly for Home Decor, Applique (Patchwork piece) for Baby Sweater, Butterfly Rakhi

 

Hi,

Friends here I have made a beautiful Butterflies. It's very simple and beautiful. Before this also I made butterfly but they get heavy and could not be stick on wall due to their weight. So this time I made light weight butterfly 😁. 

You can also use these butterflies as patchwork and sew them on baby sweater or baby blanket etc.

Then because festival Raksha Bandhan is coming soon, I made Rakhi out of these Butterflies. I hope that kids and Nature's lovers will definitely love these Rakhi.

BUTTERFLY: With 3.5mm hook it's 3" with 2.5mm hook it's 2" and by 1,75 mm it comes out to be 1.8". I mention the size here because if you want to fix them on wall with decreasing size, you can make them.

Let us first see, how to make a Butterfly. Start with white yarn...

Leaving 6" yarn make chs 12, then skip first ch, sc 1 in 7 chs, ch4, leave 6" yarn and BO.

Join red yarn at first st after ch4, we shall make bigger wing here and smaller wing in next st.

Bigger Wing: (ch6, tr tr 1, db tr 3 in the same st, ch5 sl st in the same st). Then make sl st in next st for smaller wing.

Smaller Wing: (ch5, db tr 3 in the same st, ch5 sl st in the same st) 

From back side make ch2 and get the working loop out at the second st from ch4 on other side. Now I have to make smaller wing first and then bigger wing that too in reverse order.

Smaller wing: (ch5, db tr 3, ch5, sl st all in the same st), sl st in first st from white ch4.

Bigger wing: (ch5, db tr 3, tr tr 1, ch 6, sl st all in the same st), BO. 

If you want to attach beads then leave some yarn end and sew beads.

Lastly hide the white yarn by tapestry needle.

The following video with English subtitles may help you.

RAKHI: For Rakhi only I have to make additional cords to tie on both sides. So I made chs 40-50 and then 3dc-puff or you can also have beads at the ends.

Here is the video for making Butterfly Rakhi.
