Détails du produit

Have you ever observed the beautiful butterflies sweep across your flowering shrubbery? Like living fairies, they flutter about, flapping their silky, showy wings! When creating your butterflies, give them a chance to plop down to rest their wonderful wings! So, don’t forget to knit the flamboyant firewheel flower!

There are three, 9 cm butterflies included in this pattern: the tiger-mimic queen, spicebush swallowtail, red-spotted purple and the pattern for the firewheel flower at the end. Each butterfly is a small project to be done in an evening or so, in scraps of yarn you have lying around! They were knitted flat (with some intarsia color work) on 1.25 mm double pointed needles in a lace-gauged yarn, but can also 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!

Have a glo-wing, flo-wing knit! Viv
