This is an illusion knit pattern of a small butterfly. Additional information and illusion knit patterns can be found on my blog at http://kkhymn.wordpress.com/.

Oct. 28, 2008 - I updated the pattern with “K1, P2” instructions so you don’t have to read the chart. I will be updating my other designs soon.

To iron out the curled edges, you can add a crocheted edge to your project and lightly steam iron the edges. Be careful not to flatten the purled ridges on the pattern area.
