Lydia Hawk Designs Freeform Crochet Butterfly Appliqué is a gorgeous real-to-life pattern I developed one summer afternoon… Well, after several summer afternoons.

What makes this patterm so special is that it is a freeform pattern with instructions followable by learning my specific abbreviations. I had to create some new techniques to explain my directions and it’s well worth the effort!

You can make this appliqué with or without the body, and you can sew it to a jacket, frame it, or attach it to a purse, flower bouquet… the possibilities are limitless!
