This is a 30-day Mindfulness-Journey Crochet Pattern. Including a PDF pattern with daily step-by-step instructions (with pictures) detailing how to make the crochet butterfly along with a daily mindfulness prompt. This butterfly is made up of crochet rectangles that are then layered to make a 3D design much like paper quilling. It is a perfect project to learn how to crochet due to only single crochet stitches used and no increasing/decreasing! (or the dreaded magic ring/circle)

Included with the pattern are 30 prompts (either gratitude prompts, self-reflection prompts, or bible verses). The idea is one rectangle and one prompt a day (so about 15 minutes of meditation/mindfulness/prayer a day) for 30 days, and at the end, you will have a mindfulness butterfly. ⁣⁣Keep in mind that if this is one of your first crochet projects, it may take longer than the 15 minutes a day, as you will be learning. The files (3 PDFs, each with a different prompt type) will be available immediately after purchase.

I used worsted-weight yarn (the smaller butterflies) and jumbo yarn (the larger butterfly) for the photos, however, any weight can be used as long as the yarn type and weight are uniform between all colors used.
