Lydia Hawk Designs Freeform Crochet Butterfly Appliqué is a gorgeous real-to-life pattern I developed over 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 endless!

The Top Left Wing is a Free Tutorial on my YouTube Channel so you can test your skill level and abilities with the instructions. The rest of the Wing Tutorials are part of a Free Subscription that comes with purchasing the pattern. You’ll receive an automated email with instructions on accessing the videos so you can follow along!
