Product Details
Have you ever wondered about the eating habits of butterflies fluttering around the flowers in your garden? Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet and step on their food to locate their next meal! These butterflies are pretty low maintenance: they thrive even without being fed!
There are three, 7.5 to 10 cm Central American butterflies in this pattern: the red-splashed sulphur, Mexican bluewing, common postman; andthe pattern for the plumeria at the end. Each butterfly is a small project to be done in an evening or so and a great project to use up any scraps you have lying around.
These were knitted flat (with some intarsia color work and an i-cord) on 1.00 mm double pointed needles in a lace-gauged yarn, but they can be done in a heavier yarn and will then turn out slightly larger.
The butterflies can be attached to just about anything, as an embellishment. Or, start your own butterfly collection as there are more patterns available!
