I decided to create a “practice” crochet photo pattern that’s even simpler to do than the Heart, Ladybug, and Big Butterfly patterns you’ll find among the free crochet photo patterns on this blog.
This newest pattern is … yes … another butterfly. I love these delicate, little creatures!
Despite its size (20 rows and 20 stitches), the pattern will give you all of the skills you’ll need to do the more complex pieces. In fact, because the pattern is so small, you can do several of them over a short period of time to hone your skills before moving on to the Heart or one of the larger free practice patterns.
Use any two colors you have on hand, as long as the yarn is worsted weight. Simply assign each of your yarn colors to a color number in the pattern. Choose mid to light colors to make it easier to see your stitches.
As for hook size, if you crochet tightly, I recommend using an H/5.00 mm hook. If you crochet loosely, try a G/4.00 mm hook.
Take note of the following material I’ve created to ensure your success:
- Carefully read the material that appears in front of the actual pattern instructions before you begin working the pattern. This information is critical to your success in executing any crochet photo pattern.
- I also have a “tips and tricks” section on my blog that offers additional information in a number of areas.
- And of course, if you have questions, please feel free to contact me or email me at yarnoverpullthrough@gmail.com.
