Pattern for a Birdwing Butterfly blanket. (please note that this is not large enough to be a normal blanket and is about 4 feet wide by 2 feet tall). This pattern can be repeated and sewn together (which would look awesome with different colors). Or it can be combined with other patterns that are 150 stitches wide (and I do plan on coming out with more butterfly/moth like patterns with this stitch width to be combined into a blanket). As is this pattern is a nice size to be ornamental for the top of a couch.

This pattern can be made with the type of yarn of your choice. I crocheted the example with Red Heart’s Super saver yarn (which is a medium weight yarn) and used a crochet hook size J (6.00MM).
It is 150 stitches wide x 68 stitches tall.

It is all single stitch crochet. In order to make this blanket you will need to know how to carry yarn (there are great youtube videos that can teach you how to do the Tapestry Crochet Technique. I highly recommend trying a small simple pattern to practice carrying yarn before attempting a larger project such as this one. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors, so I recommend doing a pattern that has only 2 colors before attempting one like this.
