Small crochet butterfly

I use appliqués quite often for my crochet projects. The most recent appliqué I made was the butterfly 

Crochet butterfly 🦋 

Here’s how it’s made. 

Abbreviations, UK terms (US terms)

MR - magic ring

ch - chain

dtr - double treble crochet (tr)

ttr - triple treble crochet (dtr)

Slst - slip stitch 

Start with MR. 

Into MR work the following:

[Ch6, slst into second chain from hook, 1ttr, 3dtr, 3ch, slst] into MR. 

Ch6, slst into second chain from hook

First forewing completed

[Ch3, dtr, ttr, dtr, ch3, slst] into MR. 

Hindwing is completed

Work [Ch3, dtr, ttr, dtr, ch3, slst into MR] again to make the second hind wing. 

[Ch3, 3dtr, 1ttr, ch2 and slst into the second chain from hook (to create a picot), ch4, slst] into MR. 

You can tie the yarn strands to create antennae. 

And she’s ready to fly!
