Product Details
*Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are some of the most conspicuous and colorful creatures in nature. If you ever considered memorizing all butterfly species, you’ve got your work cut out for you, as there are over 20.000 species!*Included in this pattern are the European peacock, mountain Apollo, red admiral and the common mallow, all small, fun and easy projects to be finished in an evening and great to use up any scraps you have lying around. These butterflies can be attached to just about anything, as an embellishment. Or start your own butterfly collection (lepidopterarium).
These butterflies measure 5 to 7.5 cm and were knitted flat on 1.25 mm double pointed needles in a lace-gauged yarn with some intarsia color work and knitting stripes. They can be done in a heavier yarn and will turn out slightly larger. For the antennae you’ll need some sewing yarn and some hair spray or hair gel.So, have an uplifting, (butter)fly time creating the flamboyant flyers in this pattern! Viv
