After searching for yet another Spring/ Easter craft, I thought "why not use up some of my scrap yarn for something useful" and found the CUTEST butterfly and flower crochet pin patterns! So, here I am on my day off making about 30 of these pins for the residents who live at the Nursing Home I work at- for them to wear on Easter weekend.
FUN! Each pin only takes about 2 minutes to make- easy, eh?!
Butterfly Pin
Crochet Hook 3.75 ($2.29) at Walmart
Light Weight Yarn (worsted) in pastel colours
Safety Pin
TOTAL cost- depends on how much scrap yarn you have lying about!! At Zellers, they have 150 grams ball of yarn for $1.79 in plenty of Spring pastel colours.
Chain 4
Slip stitch into first stitch to make a ring.
*Chain 4, 3 triple crochet in ring, chain 4, slip stitch into ring.*
Repeat * x1 (this will be the two largest wings of the butterfly)
*Chain 3, 3 double crochet in ring, chain 3, slip stitch into ring.*
Repeat * x1 (this will be the two smallest wings of the butterfly)
Fasten off.
Take another colour yarn to wrap around to make the body of the butterfly/ antennae
Attach safety pin to back of brooch.
Enjoy!
