I’m here with today’s second free amigurumi pattern. Free butterfly crochet pattern. It is very enjoyable to embroider a crochet butterfly. It looks very attractive thanks to its large wings. You can work in the colors you want. Our designer has chosen the colors white and yellow, and her wings look like a lemon slice. However, you can color your butterfly even more with colored threads. A 2.5 mm crochet hook will do your job easily. You can embroider your butterfly’s eyes with black thread or assemble ready-made safe eyes. I wish you success. You can browse our site for the latest crochet butterfly patterns.
