This is my Peacock Butterfly Crochet Pattern.

The pattern includes written instructions, accompanied by many step-by-step photos and exclusive video-tutorials for parts of the pattern, as well as photo-tutorials on how to make a magic ring, invisible decreases in single crochet, color changes in single crochet and closing small rounds.

LANGUAGES: English (US)

SIZE:
The butterfly will be approx. 12cm/4.7” wide and 7cm/3” long, if using the indicated hook size and yarn weight. If you would like it to be larger or smaller, you could use a different yarn weight and adjust the hook size accordingly.

CONSTRUCTION:
The wings are sewn on. The markings are embroidered. You have the option of crocheting the legs and antennae or making them with craft wire. The pattern includes photo-tutorials for both methods.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

  • Cotton yarn in 4-Ply/Fingering or DK/light worsted weight in rusty orange and light brown (or 2 different colors of choice) I used Scheepjes Catona in Rust (388) and Hazelnut (503) - 2.5mm crochet hook / Size B-1 or C-2, depending on how tightly you crochet
