Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the central part of a butterfly top using light blue yarn. After receiving feedback on my previous video, I wanted to provide a clearer visual representation of the color. So, let's get started with this simple crochet project and create a beautiful butterfly top together.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project:

• Light blue yarn
• 2mm crochet hook

Step 1: Making a Slip Knot

To start, make a slip knot with the light blue yarn. Use your 2mm crochet hook to create the slip knot. Ensure that it is not too tight or too loose.

Step 2: Creating the Foundation Chains

Next, make four chains using the light blue yarn. Loop the yarn in a specific way to form the chains. These chains will serve as the foundation for your project.

Step 3: Working the Double Crochet Stitches

Using the 2mm crochet hook, start making double crochet stitches. Insert the hook into the first chain and loop the yarn. Cross it through the chain to create the first double crochet stitch. Continue making double crochet stitches until you have a total of four.

Step 4: Increasing the Stitches

To increase the stitches, make two additional double crochet stitches in the same chain as the previous ones. This will create a slight increase in the size of your project. Repeat this step for the next few rounds to continue increasing the stitches evenly.

Step 5: Creating the Butterfly Antennas

Now it's time to create the butterfly antennas. Make a slip knot with the light blue yarn and loop it through the back of the fabric. Click the first chain and cross the slip knot through it. Continue making chains until you have a considerable length for the antennas. Repeat the process for the other antenna.

Step 6: Connecting the Wings

To connect the wings, bring the yarn from one side to the other. Begin by clicking the left-wing cord on the chain. Then, use the crochet hook to cross it with the right-wing cord. Repeat this process in a zigzag pattern to securely attach the wings. Additionally, cross the cords through the small holes on both wings to provide stability.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

Complete the butterfly top by looping the antennas at the back of the neck. Tie a normal knot to secure them in place. Finally, tie another knot at the back to ensure everything is held together properly. Congratulations! You have successfully created a beautiful butterfly top.
