Easy Crochet Butterfly Appliques

Butterflies are such beautiful and mysterious creatures. It’s absolutely amazing how colorful and magical they are. Unfortunately we often don’t see enough of them, as they fly really fast and don’t particularly enjoy out presence.

Luckily, you can make your own amazing butterflies to look at and enjoy every day! These cute projects are really easy to make and are a great way to use up any leftover yarn that you have. You can add them to many projects, like blankets, hats, dresses, shawls, etc. Sky is the limit. Try them today! Search for links to free patterns under the pictures below.

The Butterfly

Now this is a clever crochet project, because it’s easy and surprising! Did you know that little crochet flowers (or mandalas) can become butterflies when folded in half? Now you know! It’s a great idea for projects, in which you need both butterflies and flowers, because you don’t have to decide right away which one becomes which!

Let nature’s beauty speak for itself by representing it in the Monarch Butterfly crochet pattern.
