I did change the pattern a little (I often do). \u00a0Here is my version of the Teeny Tiny Butterfly pattern:<\/p>\n<p>Ch = chain stitch; \u00a0sl st = slip stitch; \u00a0dc = double crochet<\/p>\n<p>Ch 4; sl st into first st to form a ring.<\/p>\n<p>Ch 2; 3 dc into ring; ch 2; sl st into ring.<\/p>\n<p>*Ch 1; 2 dc into ring; ch 1; sl st into ring*. Repeat twice.<\/p>\n<p>Ch 2; 3 dc into ring; ch 2; sl st into ring.<\/p>\n<p>Fasten off and create abdomen and antennae by wrapping a thread around the middle of the butterfly twice. Tie a knot and snip ends.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see the changes are minimal. I start with one top wing then go to the lower wings making them a little smaller by only crocheting 2 dc instead of 3 and ending with another top wing. I just found that my butterflies became more symmetrical like this.<\/p>\n<p>Little Miss Bossy-Boots loves them and I have made a few to add to a pink and sparkly bag she has asked for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was bumbling about the internet looking for a pattern for a crochet bird when I happened upon some lovely butterflies by Little Birdie Secrets.
