I'm trying to make a butterfly. And failing. Found this pattern but it says 1.5tr. I can't find a one and a half treble stitch. Any ideas

Please post a link to the pattern if it is free online, or tell us what book or magazine it is in, so we can look at it.

Is this it? http://megan.cc/CrochetButterfly/pattern.html

The stitch is described under Abbreviations.

Well done. Thank you so much, never even saw that.

It's always a good idea to read everything that's included with a pattern ;-)

1.5tr yoh twice, insert hook in the indicated place and draw up a loop, yoh and draw through 2 loops, yoh and draw through last 3 loops on the hook

 

If you have ever done a tr stitch(US terms) you know that it takes 3 [pull through 2] to complete.  for this stitch you will complete the stitch in only 2 pull through's. 

 

you usually, pull through 2, pull through 2, pull through 2,

 

in this one you will pull through 2, pull through 3.
