LARGE BUTTERFLY

Large butterfly © Saraphir Qaa-Rishi 2015 www.saraphir.com

Thank you for downloading this free pattern. The butterflies are best made with firmer yarns like cotton and linen – the ones on the photos are made with Patons 100% cotton 4-ply and a 2.5 mm hook. Because of their size they need blocking and stiffening when they are made. I stiffened mine with a mixture of PVA glue and water.You are welcome to sell what you make with this pattern, but please credit me as the designer or, if you sell online, post a link to my pattern. You may not sell or redistribute this pattern in any way or pass it off as your own work.
