Pattern for a Birdwing Butterfly blanket. This pattern comes with both a graph and written instructions.

All single stitch crochet using the tapestry crochet technique (carrying yarn)

You will need 2 skeins of white (A), 2 skeins of black (B), e skeins of Green (C) & 1 skein of yellow (D) to complete this project. I recommend either carrying all of the colors through the entire pattern except yellow to keep it even. I would only carry the yellow in the abdomen.

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook. The tapestry should come out a little over 4 feet wide. This pattern can be repeated and sewn together or combined with other patterns (most of my other patterns are also 150 stitches wide) to create a blanket. A border can also increase the size and give the project a more finished look.

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. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors.

150 stiches wide by 68 rows tall

(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).

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.
