3 D Butterfly
This beautiful crochet butterfly calls for a steel hook and lace weight yarn. This would make a great topper for a gift or even just a simple house decoration. A picot stitch is used for this free crochet pattern.

This detailed butterfly is amazing! It is so life like it could land outside my window! I've never tried a picot or a double treble before so I have several things to do before I could crochet at this level. It's good though to have a forward looking project. I think I'd like to make this up placing on the front of one of my greeting cards! Thanks for the free pattern! It's lovely!

What a nice surprise when I opened up the picture of this butterfly. I thought it would be a very basic butterfly. But it wasn't at all. It is a very pretty and detailed one. This pattern will be added to my applique file waiting for the perfect pattern.

This butterfly is a lot smaller than I expected from looking at the photo. It is worked with #10 thread, so that would make sense. The instructions look okay, but could really benefit from some additional photos. I was also a bit confused about the photos that WERE included. I do want to work this pattern up, but will try it with #4 yarn and an I hook as a practice piece.

Thank you. This is just what I need to make gifts for my daughter and granddaughter. Everything for them has to be butterflies, since my daughter named her daughter Mariposa. I could see making using these to decorate headbands, pillows, clothing... the ideas just keep coming.

I love this little butterfly. I starched mine by spraying with a stiffining spray starch and ironing with a t-shirt over the butterfly. Use a low (nylon) setting on the iron. Do this several times to desired stiffness. I bent the wings up slightly and placed the butterfly wings between two books laying flat. This kept the wings up until the last starching and ironing cooled. I then attached this cute little guy to a small piece of magnet strip. Now I have a lovely group of butterflies floating on my fridge after a long winter.
