Mariposa
by Holly Beemer
Mariposa is a knitting pattern for a beautiful knitted butterfly that brings a bit of brightness and joy to any room!
It works up beautifully in variegated yarn! Thicker yarn on smaller needles adds a little more stiffness and helps with wing shape.
The recommendation for Red Heart Soft is for body, which is worked in i-cord. You will need <10 yards. Scrap yarn works well.
Craft wire is used to keep its wings in place if you choose display it mid-flight/aloft.
Materials
40 yd variegated yarn (wings)
10 yd Red Heart Soft in Pink (body)
