Any self-made product will look more elegant if it is decorated with some kind of decoration element. Among the huge variety of all kinds of lace ribbons, flowers and bows, crochet or knitting butterflies occupy a special place. This small image is considered a symbol of love, beauty and rebirth. Indeed, even in Christianity, each stage of transformation from a crawling worm into a living flying creature has its own designation: a caterpillar is life, a cocoon is death, and a butterfly is rebirth. Therefore, it is very appropriate to decorate children's clothes with this symbol, moreover, it does not matter, a boy or a girl. Most often, a butterfly is crocheted. The execution methods differ among themselves, first of all, with the chosen ornament and color. We offer two options for performing a finishing accessory, the last of which complements the butterfly knitting scheme. Crocheting work is very simple and quick. Give it a try!
First crocheted butterfly
The finished product is obtained with a stable form due to the fact that a framework of thin, but elastic wire is used. Roll it the way you want. A butterfly can be either with round wings or with pointed ones. Do not forget about the antennae and torso. The easiest way is to roll the wire in the form of four loops, two of which should be slightly larger in size. Tie with threads, moving along all the intricacies. You can do the job a little differently. To do this, an even piece of wire is trimmed with threads in one layer. Then the form is already attached. After that, the outer edge is finished with openwork viscous.
