Crochet the Butterfly Waltz Motif: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Описание: Learn how to crochet the gorgeous Butterfly Waltz Motif in this step-by-step tutorial! I’ll guide you through each round from start to finish, showing you how to create the details and delicate shaping that make this design so special.

In the introduction, I also share tips for choosing the perfect color combinations for your butterflies, plus a closer look at the Butterfly Waltz Blanket and Scarf patterns that feature this motif.

This motif is worked in three colors, with each round done in a single color. Some stitches are worked around or into stitches 2 or more rounds below, adding beautiful texture and detail to the wings.

This moderately challenging pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters or very adventurous beginners. I suggest reading the pattern details below to see whether this project matches your experience level, mood, and aspirations.

// PATTERN DETAILS

Skill Level: Intermediate

Concentration Level: The motif features an involved stitch pattern, in which you will be working into and around specific stitches 2 or 3 rounds below. This will require a fair amount of focus, but it should become easier and more relaxing after your first few motifs.
