I fell in love, and some of you did too.

She wrote me, “I don’t know where it {the pattern} originated from. I have known it forever…my nana taught it to me when i was is my teens and i am now 50. . What I do know about is that it is called either a butterfly or bowtie patttern and i have seen it in a single pattern as i did or a double pattern where there are two butterflies. I am giving you the pattern for the single. As follows:

Single:

1: ch 16, dc in third ch from hook, dc in all across, turn. OR. Ch 16 dc in third ch from hook dc two more times sk 8 st, dc in next 3 dc, turn

First one gives a solid base foundation and second gives bottom of butterfly. I use second.

2. Ch 2, dc in next 2 st, ch 8 , dc in next 3, turn

3. Ch 2, dc in next 2 st, ch 8, dc in next 3, turn

4. Ch 2, dc in next 2 st, ch 8, dc in next 3′ turn

5. Ch 2, dc in next 2, ch 4, sc around rows 2,3,4, ch 4, dc in next 3, turn

6. Repeat rows 2-5 until desired length

To end end with row 5. Or a row of solid dc if you started with a row of solid dc

Cool eh? Well you can grab a 5.5 crochet hook and a ball or two of this yarn http://store.darngoodyarn.com/product/dgys-premium-recycled-silk-yarn and make your very own! enjoy!

Love to you all,

Nicole
