Crochet Butterfly Bobble Pattern
I was making a blanket for a friend of mine and was looking for written instructions or video on how to do the bobble butterfly. I had found written instructions for the heart but only found the pattern of the butterfly. So to make it easier for me to crochet, (I like written instructions when I crochet) I decided to write or type out the instructions myself. It helps me get my project done faster!I found the butterfly pattern here on Pinterest.
The instructions below are based on a square I made for a blanket. For my blanket, I had 27 sts across and 32 rows. You can adjust the sts and rows base on how small or big you want your square. Enjoy the pattern below and happy crocheting!
I am using the US crochet terms.
The Crochet terms I used are as follows:
sts - stitches
ch - chain
sc- single crochet
dc - double crochet
MB - make bobble
MB = make 4 open dc in same stitch leaving 5 loops on hook, draw yarn through all 5 loops. So in the MB stitch you will do as follows, yarn over, hook into next stitch, yarn over (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through two loops leaving 2 loops on hook, yarn over, hook into same stitch, yarn over pull through two loops, 3 loops on hook, continue as above till you have 5 loops on hook after the last open double and then yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on hook. One bobble complete!
