This project can be made with any yarn and hook size, so feel free to use your favorite materials. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:

• Yarn of your choice
• Crochet hook suitable for your chosen yarn
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Step 1: Making a Slip Knot

To start, create a slip knot on your crochet hook. This will be the first loop of your project.

Step 2: Chain Stitch

Next, chain one to secure the slip knot. Then, chain three more stitches on top of that first chain. These three chains will be part of the first puff stitch.

Step 3: Making Puff Stitches

To create a puff stitch, yarn over and insert your hook into the first chain. Bring the yarn through and pull up the loop to match the height of the chains. Repeat this step four more times, creating a total of five puff stitches.

Step 4: Completing the Bottom Half of the Butterfly

After creating the puff stitches, yarn over and bring the yarn through all the loops on your hook. Secure the stitches with a chain one. Then, chain two and slip stitch into the first chain. This completes the bottom half of the butterfly.

Step 5: Completing the Top Half of the Butterfly

To make the top part of the butterfly, chain four and yarn over. Insert your hook into the same chain as before and bring the yarn through. Match the height of the chains with the loop. Repeat this step four more times, creating a total of five puff stitches.

Step 6: Finishing Touches and Assembly

After completing the puff stitches, yarn over and bring the yarn through all the loops. Secure with a chain one. Chain three and slip stitch into the center chain of the previous round. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends. Attach the butterfly to your desired project.

Variation: Making Smaller Butterflies

To make smaller butterflies, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook. Follow the same steps as before, but use the appropriate materials for a smaller finished product.
