Butterfly - a quick 2D crochet pattern

⤢

This butterfly also takes less than 10 minutes to make. You can use it as a decoration — attach it to a hair clip or a bag. A few butterflies can also be joined together into a pretty garland.

What you need

I used DROPS Paris yarn and a 3.5mm hook, and my charm came out about 3 cm long.

Abbreviations

We will work exclusively in a magic ring. We will use: chain, double crochet, treble crochet, and slip stitch.

Pattern

We start with a magic ring — that's the only place we'll be working, just "one round".

Work into the magic ring:

• 3 chains,
• 3 double crochets into magic ring,
• 3 chains,
• slip stitch into magic ring.

That's the first (smaller) wing. For the second — larger — wing, work:

• 4 chains,
• 3 treble crochets into magic ring,
• 4 chains,
• slip stitch into magic ring.

We have half the butterfly. Now the second half, but this time starting with the larger wing:

• 4 chains,
• 3 treble crochets into magic ring,
• 4 chains,
• slip stitch into magic ring.

And the last — fourth — part, the smaller wing:

• 3 chains,
• 3 double crochets into magic ring,
• 3 chains,
• slip stitch into magic ring.

Pull the magic ring closed and fasten off. The butterfly shape is ready 🦋. Now wrap the body with black yarn as shown in the photo.
