The butterfly is so cute. Thank you.
This is absolutely adorable. I love it!!!! Than you so much for sharing once again a delightful pattern!!! 🙂
Adorable!
Sarah. Love love love this butterfly. Sooo adorable. Am I missing something in the pattern. Where do the antenna get created???
I love the pattern! I think there’s a mistake, though, at row 24 of head. I ended up increasing on that row and then SC for 10 rows. If you increase every other stitch for 11 rows as written, it doesn’t look right. Also, I don’t see the instructions for the antennae. I can probably wing them from the picture, so it’s not a huge deal. Thank you!
I agree Kathleen. I’m m at that point and realized that something isn’t quite right. I’m going to do what you did. I’m sure Sarah will notice and make the necessary corrections.
Happy Crocheting
I as well noticed this and made adjustments to the body to make it look right and winged the antennae. Love the pattern and know coreections will be coming soon!
Kathleen,
I don’t see Sarah replying to any of these comments. I have emailed her trying to get an answer regarding no instructions for the antenna.
As for your comment, I repeated Rounds 24-34 increasing each round and my butterfly looks ok. Just waiting to get an answer from Sarah.

Adorable pattern! But, what about the antenna instructions? Please respond, need pattern for new baby coming soon. Thanks.
Good luck! I have been waiting for an answer as well.
What about the antenna instructions? Did I miss something? I sure hope they weren’t supposed to be attached before stuffing since I have the body finished and ready to attach the wings. UGH!!!
Thanks for your reply.
I am happy with your article,your website is pretty good. Many articles are very useful for everyone. I am sure your website will grow in the future.
Hey, I have read your blog. This is really great. I like your work. I am also a blogger.
i love butterfly. thank
I am not new to crocheting, but I am new to making a stuffed animal. I chose this little butterfly because it didn’t look too complicated. As I was reading through the pattern before buying yarn and fill and all that, I noticed there were no instructions for the antenna or for the body. Am I missing something? Am I not reading and understanding the pattern? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Aw, what a sweet stuffed toy! I adore your work.
Can someone please help me with this pattern. I’m trying to crochet the body part of the butterfly but when crocheting rows 24-34 it doesn’t look right.
Only increase in row 24, and not in the rows 25-34.
Hi, I am making this too and for rows 24-34 I did the increases as suggested in row 24 and just did 9 rows of 30 after that. I also am looking for the antennae portion . I did not see it in the pattern.
I forgot to mention, I cannot tell if the large wings are ‘lightly stuffed or not? The small ones are but nothing is mentions regarding the larger ones. Does anyone have any idea?
The information in the article you mentioned is very valuable to me.
I made antennas myself.
Round 1: 6sc in a MR
Round 2: increase in every stitch (12sc)
Round 3: increase in every 4th stitch (15sc)
Round 4: 15sc
Round 5: (3sc, decrease) x3 (12sc)
Round 6: (2sc, decrease) x3 (9sc)
Round 7: 9sc
Round 8: (sc, decrease) x3 (6sc). Fasten off and stuff.
