More Butterflies I made yesterday

Top Hat

A Friend ordered this!!!

After I made the hat she liked it so much she wanted butterflies to go with it.

Butterflies I made this week!

So I made 24 butterflies this week. I took pics of all but one. Its a bookmark and just forgot to take a pic of it. Its cute though. I got the pattern from HERE but she uses embroidery floss and a size 6 needle. I used a 7 and crochet thread size 10. I also made the medium butterfly.

Mine came out the size of a quarter so making them smaller just sounds silly to me but I am sure there are reasons to make them smaller. I actually want to try to make them bigger. But her pattern just calls for bigger yarn not bigger stitches and I like size 10 thread so I will have to figure it out on my own.

3D Butterfly

I made a different butterfly too. I love it but it takes a while to make.

I got the pattern HERE.
