I love to use crochet cute little things as accessories. These Cute Butterflies are so incredibly easy to crochet, so I’d like to share this pattern with you today. And moreover - small projects like these are great for using up scrap yarn!

I also love how versatile embellishments are. Whether you want to add a brooch back and create a unique piece of jewellery, add a sweet detail to a scarf or hat. Any other ideas from you? It would be great as an embellishment on a wreath or a wallhanging.  And, of course this crochet butterfly would be lovely as a magnet for your refrigerator.

They’re also perfect for Easter. 

This free crochet butterfly pattern is so fun to crochet and very fast to put together.  Any scraps will do.

TREBLE CROCHET (TR)
A treble crochet (sometimes called triple crochet) is taller than a double crochet and is made by working two yarn overs at the start of the stitch, instead of one yarn over as for double crochet. It is abbreviated tr.

STEP 1: Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the work (fifth chain from hook on the starting chain).

STEP 2: * Yarn over and draw yarn through, pulling up a loop.

STEP 3: Yarn over again and pull yarn through the first two loops only on the hook.

STEP 4: Yarn over again and pull yarn through the next two loops only on the hook.

STEP 5: Yarn over again and pull yarn through the last two loops on the hook.
