Crocheted Butterfly

[Ladycrochat]

Here is a butterfly that I just made...The pattern can be found in a book called "Decorating with Crochet" by Anne Halliday. I am not sure yet what I will do with it, I might mount it and frame it under glass and hang it on the wall or I can tack it onto a purse, pillow or T-shirt....What do you think? I guess it would be prettier in a variegated thread, but I only had white on hand....

Very nice! Variegated thread would look nice also. You could make a few of them in different colors and frame them. Or, your decorative pillow idea is nice too.

Very pretty butterfly, personally I like it in the white.

So cute - you could stitch it onto a garment (shirt, jeans, etc.) as an embellishment, too.

Thank you for your kind words and ideas everybody!

Pretty butterfly, Debbie!! I have a booklet with all butterflies and 'spring' things, it shows attaching a small thread to the top of the butterfly and hang it on a hook (suction cup thingy w/ a hook you put on your window). For decoration.

 

Anyway, it's really pretty and I like it in the white. :clap

Very pretty. How about on the fridge? Or I like the window idea. Just about anything you want.

[Ladycrochat]

I like the window idea too, but it is rather floppy, like a doily....I would have to stiffen it with starch....It is stratigically pinned onto that fabric in the photo! And it measures about 9" across and 7" high not including antennnea (is that the right plural form??)

it's very pretty, Debbie! Personally, I'll sew it on the triangular tip on a shawl like what I did for my swap partner's shawl. :-)))))

I love the white! It looks so pretty.

 

It could be framed and donated to your local Hospice house.
