Hi guys today I'm going to show you how to make this really cute butterfly
embellishment I've actually made mine into a little brooch but you could use
this as an embellishment for either a granny square or any type of project
that you've got so what you're going to need is your selected yarn I've used two
different colors but you could just choose one if you wanted to I'm using a
4 millimeter crochet hook because I'm using style craft special DK you want
some scissors and you want a darning needle so to start off I'm going to use
the stylecraft special DK in the colour wisteria and what you want to do is
make your slipknot and insert your hook and you're going to start off by
chaining 6 so yarn over pull through for one two three four five and six
then you want to take your hook and insert it into the first chain that you
created so just right at the very bottom here insert your hook yarn over and pull
through both loops on the hook in order to make a circle so you're going to be
working into this very center circle you want to chain three one two three and
this is going to class as our first treble crochet so remember I'm talking
in UK term so in the US this is a double crochet and we're going to do a treble
crochet next to this so it's yarn over insert the hook into that center circle
yarn over pull through so you have three loops on the hook yarn over pull through
two you have two loops on the hook and yarn over pull through two you're then
going to chain two so one two and then we're going to do another set of two
treble crochets in this very same center circle so yarn over insert yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two and
straight into the next one yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over
pull through two yarn over pull through two so we have remember this first one's
acting as a treble two trebles chain two two trebles we're going to chain two
again one two and we're going to do exactly the same thing so two more
trebles so that's one and two and chain two and
you're going to repeat that all the way around until you have eight of these
clusters so we'll class these two trebles as a cluster so one two three
then you do four five six seven eight so meet me on your last cluster pause the
video here and I shall show you what to do in order to do our next row okay so
I'm just at the end of my round I've now done eight of the clusters of two
trebles and I've chained two in between each of those so don't worry if it
doesn't look particularly round like if these two chain two's are sticking out
slightly that's not a problem so I've just done my last two trebles I'm then
going to chain two and what I'm going to do is I'm going to insert my hook into
the third chain from the bottom of this original chain three so I just insert my
hook into the top there yarn over pull through and then pull through the other
loop on the hook and then I'm going to yarn over and pull through again grab my
scissors and snip off the yarn and then pull that out and just pull that nice
and tight and that is the first step of your butterfly I'm now going to grab the
other colour and show you where to attach it to do the next round for the second
round I'm using this light pink colour here I forget the name so I'll leave the
details in the description box below but I think this is called candy floss
but what you want to do is take your end and you want to insert it between one of
your two trebles so not in the chain two space between the two trebles so I'm
going to insert my hook in order to pull that through and I'm going to tie that
in a knot this is just the way that I like to do it so tie that in a knot and
then pull both of those threads to one side so that we can work it in as we're
going around so insert the hook again grab the yarn and pull it through and
your just going to yarn over and pull through we're now going to be working
into the chain two space so we're going to be doing six trebles in this here to
create a scalloped edge so you want to yarn over and insert your hook into that
chain two space yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two and yarn over
pull through two so that's one two three
four
five and six and then you're going to insert your hook into the space between
the two trebles so go ahead and insert yarn over and pull through like a
slipknot then you're going to repeat exactly the same thing into the next
chain two space so yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through
two and yarn over pull through two for one and you'll go two three four five
and six you're then going to insert your hook into the space between the two
trebles so insert the hook grab the yarn and pull it through and pull it through
to make your slip stitch and you're going to repeat that all the way around
and you'll end up with eight of these so work your way around to the end and I'll
show you what to do to attach to here so if you want to pause the video and I
shall meet you back in a moment okay so I've just finished my eighth
scallop and it looks a bit like a flower but this is going to be really clever
and how this actually comes together so now what you want to do instead of just
inserting your hook where we usually have you're just going to insert your
hook into the top of this stitch here that was already created so you want to
yarn over and then pull through both loops on the hook in order to attach
those together so now that we've attached you want to chain eight so one
two three four five six seven eight and what we're going to do is take this
and we're going to fold it in half so make sure when you fold it you fold it
away from you rather than towards you just because we want the side that's
facing you to be on the outside so fold that in half and you'll notice that
you'll have two wings on this side and two wings on that side or two parts of
the wings and make sure that the back is the same as well so what you want to do
now is turn the work around and then turn it around again until you reach the
original space that we'd just done the chain so this was the base of the chain
and you want to insert your hook into the chain can be a little bit fiddly so
insert your hook into the chain and yarn over and pull through to create a slip
stitch and you're going to yarn over and pull through again in order to tie this
off so you want to cut your yarn and pull that through and what you'll have
then is your butterfly shape so I'm just going to snip these threads off here
because I worked these into the work if you didn't work them into the work you
will need to sew them in and I'm going to take this thread and sew that in
so I'm just going to sew that into the work snip it off and you can just play
around with this to get it sitting how you want it to sit but essentially that
is your butterfly shape it's really cute so to make this section here all you
need to do is take a small piece of yarn and tie a knot in one side get it as
close to the edge as possible but because that's not quite close to the
edge as I like I'm just going to snip off the end and then do exactly the same
to the other side I'm not going to go quite all the way to the end just
because I don't want it to be that long
so snip that off and all you have to do is hook it underneath you can tie it but I
find that it alters the placement of where they're going to be so that is
your little butterfly you can either leave it there or you can attach a
safety pin to the back and then you can make it into a little brooch so I've
actually attached a safety pin there just by sewing it on with some yarn and
that is your butterflies so I really hope you've enjoyed this tutorial give
