Want to knit something sweet for spring? You have to try these adorable butterflies! This free pattern by Frankie Brown is the perfect little project to get your creative juices flowing. They work up in a flash, so you can knit a whole bunch in an afternoon using up those little scraps of yarn you have lying around. The pattern is worked flat in garter stitch, which is great for beginners, and it’s a fantastic way to practice short rows without any stress.
The finished butterflies are only about two inches wide and are so cute! You can use them to decorate spring wreaths, hair clips, or bags. They also make the most darling gift toppers. These butterflies are a fun, fast, and charming way to add a handmade touch to all your spring projects.
