Creating a Granny Square Butterfly<\/strong> is a delightful project. Instead of a traditional square, you will crochet a center “body” and then add “wings” that resemble the shape of a butterfly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial breaks it down into very easy steps that even a beginner can follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Yarn:<\/strong> Two contrasting colors. Use one color for the Body\/Center<\/strong> (e.g., Brown or Black) and one for the Wings<\/strong> (e.g., Bright Yellow, Pink, or Blue).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hook:<\/strong> 4.0 mm or 5.0 mm<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stitch Key (US Terms):<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • ch:<\/strong> Chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • sl st:<\/strong> Slip Stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • sc:<\/strong> Single Crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • dc:<\/strong> Double Crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • tr:<\/strong> Treble Crochet (Yarn over twice before inserting hook)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udee0 The Step-by-Step Guide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Part 1: The Body (Color A)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Start:<\/strong> ch 6<\/code> and join with a sl st<\/code> to form a small ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. The Middle:<\/strong> ch 3<\/code> (counts as first dc), work 15 dc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Join:<\/strong> sl st<\/code> to the top of the ch 3<\/code>. Fasten off and weave in your ends. You now have a solid circle\u2014this is the center of your butterfly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Part 2: The Wings (Color B)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        We will create four “petals” or wings around this center circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Attach Color B:<\/strong> Join your second color into any stitch of the circle with a sl st<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Wing 1 (Top Left):<\/strong> ch 3<\/code>, work 3 dc<\/strong> into the same stitch, then ch 3<\/code> and sl st<\/code> into the same stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Wing 2 (Top Right):<\/strong> Move to the next stitch, ch 3<\/code>, work 3 dc<\/strong> into the same stitch, ch 3<\/code> and sl st<\/code> into the same stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Wing 3 (Bottom Right):<\/strong> Move to the next stitch, ch 4<\/code>, work 3 tr<\/strong> (treble crochet) into the same stitch, ch 4<\/code> and sl st<\/code> into the same stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Wing 4 (Bottom Left):<\/strong> Move to the next stitch, ch 4<\/code>, work 3 tr<\/strong> into the same stitch, ch 4<\/code> and sl st<\/code> into the same stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          Note: By using dc<\/code> for the top wings and tr<\/code> for the bottom wings, you naturally create the larger shape of a butterfly!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

          Part 3: The Finishing Touches<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Fasten off:<\/strong> Leave a long tail of yarn (about 8 inches).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. The Antennae:<\/strong> Take that long tail and wrap it tightly around the middle of the butterfly, pulling it slightly to “pinch” the center. This gives the butterfly its iconic shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Tie:<\/strong> Secure the yarn at the back with a double knot. If you want, you can leave two small loops of the yarn sticking out at the top to act as antennae.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \u2728 How to Turn it into a Granny Square<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            If you want to place this butterfly inside<\/em> a granny square to use in a blanket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. The Frame:<\/strong> Once your butterfly is finished, use your “Frame” color (a neutral like cream or white) to crochet around the butterfly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. The Technique:<\/strong> You will crochet into the “gaps” created by the chain spaces of the wings. Simply work a round of dc<\/code> clusters (3 dc, ch 1)<\/code> around the butterfly until you have created enough space to form a square shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Blocking:<\/strong> Because the butterfly has different heights (the shorter dc wings vs. the taller tr wings), it will look a bit wrinkled. Steam blocking is essential here.<\/strong> Pin the four corners of your “Butterfly Square” to a mat and steam it flat. This will make the wings pop out and look professional.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udca1 Beginner Tips for Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Don’t worry about perfection:<\/strong> Butterfly wings in nature aren’t perfectly symmetrical, and yours don’t have to be either!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Use stitch markers:<\/strong> If you find it hard to see which stitch to work into next, place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every wing so you don’t lose your place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Pinch it:<\/strong> The “pinching” in Part 3 is the most important step\u2014don’t be afraid to pull that center yarn tail tight to define the head and wings!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
