Change color to main color

  1. 8-17) (10 rows) 6 sc

Leave a tail for sewing. Insert wire inside. I don’t attach the wire to the head; I just insert the tips into the stuffed head and sew the antennae to the head.

Boots (Make 2)

Sole

  5. 48 sc

The boot sole is ready. The soles should be steamed with an iron (through a cloth).

To make the transition from the sole to the sides of the boot at a right angle, row 6 (48 sc) is worked into the posts (not into the loops).

Then, continue crocheting in the usual way, into the loops of the previous row, for rows 7 and 8 without changes (48 sc).

Insert insoles and a weight (optional). You can also glue a wire frame to the insole.

Fasten off, cut yarn

2nd Lower Wing

From the first upper wing, count two stitches, join yarn in the third stitch.

  1. Ch 1, 1 sc in the same stitch, then crochet 1 sc (2)

Row 2 and further are crocheted according to the description of the 3rd wing (they should be mirror images).

Edging of the Wings

Starting from the crocheted center that connects the wings, edge the wings with single crochets (sc).

When edging, crochet wire along the contour. When starting and finishing the edging, leave small ends (a few cm) of wire for reinforcing the center.

After all parts have been edged, bring both wire ends out from the wrong side of the center and twist them into spirals (they need to lie as flat as possible on the center in one layer and be invisible from the right side).

Then carefully sew the wire to the center.

After you have dressed your butterflies, you can sew the wings by the reinforced center. I sew the wings at the very end, stitching through the entire toy (without catching the front part of the clothing).
