BUTTERFLY

The butterfly is made using three colors: one for the inner part of wings, one for the outer part of wings, and one for the body.

* Round 3 (to make this round easier to read, each butterfly wing is listed separately): o 1st wing: insert hook into 1st sc from Round 2, and pull up chosen color for outer part of

wings, ch 1, 1 sc into next st, 1 hdc into next st, 2 dc into next st, 1 sc into next st, sl st into next st, sl st into center ring (the beginning ch-4 ring),

o 2nd wing: sl st into next st, 1 sc into next st, 2 dc into each of next 3 sts, 1 hdc into next st, 1 sc into next st, sl st into next st, sl st into center ring,

* Butterfly body: The body is worked using 2 strands of yarn held together (go up 1 hook size). Leave a 6” yarn tail at the start, then ch 6. Leaving a 6” yarn tail, fasten off.

Attaching butterfly body to wings: Position butterfly body on top of wings. Using a tapestry needle, or hook, pull the ends from the body through to the back of the butterfly [Figure 4]. Do this at both ends of the ch-6 body. For the yarn tails at the bottom/base of the butterfly, knot these ends together at the back of the butterfly then weave in ends. For the yarn tails at the top/head of the butterfly, bring those ends back to the front of the butterfly and knot the yarn tails together, then cut the ends leaving a bit of length for antennae [Figures 5 & 6]. 


It's wonderful he finished really an incredible job that fills the eyes with perfection, these butterflies seem to be real and for this reason they make the mobile more fun for our babies.
