Bernat POP! Butterfly Crochet Graphgan – Part 1

April 30, 2017

BernatPopButterfly1

Have you seen the new Yarnspirations Bernat POP! yarn?! Similar to the popular Caron Cakes yarn except Bernat POP! is a 100% acrylic. Originally it was sold exclusively in select Walmart stores but it’s now available for sale online at Yarnspirations.com in 12 beautiful shades! Once I laid eyes on Bernat POP! I had a project in mind… butterflies! Because the yarn is self-striping, I knew it would be perfect to naturally create the color of the butterfly wings. And once I got started on this project I knew I was on to something! Right now I am creating a series of 6 butterflies using 6 different shades of Bernat POP! When I am finished I will post a “Part 2” to this project and show you how to make a border, join, and piece this project together. Are you as excited as I am?!

First the yarn!

I used Bernat POP! in colors:
Paisley Pop
Blue Blaze
Violet Vision
Scarlet Sizzle
Planetary
Lipstick On Your Collar

You will only need one cake of each color for each butterfly. The color change you see in my butterflies is the natural color change!

I’m not quite finished yet but I know you guys are anxious for the pattern. I don’t want to keep you waiting any longer!

First you will need to download the graph. Don’t worry, the written pattern is below as well.
You can absolutely crochet this graph any way you’d like: SC, DC, C2C, etc. But I used DC stitches and this is what I recommend for this particular project to achieve the same size and striping as what you see in my pictures.

Finished Size = 29 inches wide x 19 inches tall

Keep in mind that I made TWO DOUBLE CROCHET stitches for every square box you see on the graph. Follow the graph working row by row (back and forth) making two DC for every box you see. I left the wings of the butterfly blank because that is where you will be using the Bernat POP color! I am also providing the written pattern below if that is easier for you!

Another important piece of info is that the Chain 3 counts as the first DC in the beginning of each row. Here is a visual of where to start the first stitch in each row so you don’t accidentally make an extra DC.

Here is a quick video tutorial on how I carried the black and white yarn in the middle portion of the butterfly.


Materials:
– Bernat POP! Yarn (1 skein for each butterfly) Shop all colors at Yarnspirations.com.
– Bernat Super Value in White and Black (approximately1 skein for every two butterflies)
– Size H Crochet Hook
– large tapestry needle

w = white
b = black
pop = Bernat POP!

    Hi Sarah! Love the pattern but I want to make sure I’m understanding it correctly. For row 2, since the chain 3 from the first row counts as my first chain, do I chain 24 to equal 25 stitches or chain 25 so it equals 26?

      I am making the afghan and at the first it says you have 92 stitches with first chain 3 counting as the 1st DC of each row. At the end of your count I get 91 stitches. So does each row end in 92 or 91 stitches? Any one who has done this can you help. I haven’t seen many replies to questions.

      I know your ? is from awhile ago but I carry my yarn just making sure it doesn’t gap between the stitches. It uses more yarn this way. Some like to leave a long tail at the ends and weave them in the border. I’ve seen and done both. My preference is not to have so many tails so I carry.

    Hi Sarah,
    I am doing the butterfly graphaghan and I noticed that the pattern and the gragh were different counts for example row 2 (w) DC in first 25 stitches then when I get to the other side of the black outline it says (w) DC in the next 26 stitches chain 3 turn on the gragh each side of the butterfly have the same amount of stitches I’m really confused about it

    Beautiful pattern and no problems until I came to row 25. I’ve recounted multiple times but have 8 white stitches at the end when the pattern calls for 6. Is this an error? I can just do 8 white but am confused as to how to start the next row with the counts out?
    Thanks
