BUTTERFLY CROCHET TOP
Hello everyone, it’s another beautiful Monday for us in the needleworkmonday community. Today I will be sharing the lovely butterfly crochet top. After I failed with the previous top I made, I decided to make something with bright colors to bring my spirit up, and for that this butterfly top was perfect as I have wanted to make it for some time but just kept putting it off.
For this top, I used a tutorial by @sheilacrochets on youtube. There are a lot of other tutorials for the butterfly top but I found hers easier to follow, usually when following one of her tutorials I do a few tweaks but for this, I did exactly how she explained. After completion I wish I had done tweaks, as usual, it was fine but had less coverage than I would have liked.
I used my favorite hook size - 3.5mm and three different colors, black, yellow, and orange. To begin this top I started with making the middle part which is the butterfly’s head, thorax, and antenna. This was the easiest part, although every other part is pretty straightforward.
Once I completed that, I started working on the wing, but I started on one side and then did the other side. Working the wings was pretty easy, I used a series of double crochets while making necessary adjustments. One thing I like about this top is the design around the edge which is worked simultaneously with the body of the top.
After finishing the upper wing, I did the lower part of the butterfly wing also for one part of the top. When that part was completed, I also went ahead to mirror the same thing on the other part. And I made the straps and the top was completed. It is a pretty easy top to make and does not require so much time.
This is what it looks like, I feel like if I had done more rows on the upper wings, it would have more coverage on the sides, but still, this is pretty okay.
Thanks for stopping by❤

Thank you so much
I love this question! I think my hardest will be writing a post and submitting daily. I look forward to your encouragement daily. Thank you❤
@nonsowrites get in here and do the needful, you naughty boy🤭
I thought you said I should leave you alone? what do you want from me?
If you go, don't come back😒😒
You need to be her cheerleader for the Dreemport Challenge hehe
haha get in here @nonsowrites !LOLZ well this post was one down 4 to go 😉🙌 I have a post to finish up just now and then that will get published this eve... why not try some 5 minute freewrites. Dreems suggested this to me the other day... just pick up the daily prompt from @mariannewest 's blog and set your timer for 5 minutes and write. Then tidy it up quickly and post it! It's great practice for letting creativity flow too.
Thank you for the suggestion, it's a good one. I will give it a try soon
Wow... this is beautiful and lovely. The colour combination is 🔥 I’m already thinking of grabbing back my crotchet pins and wool and get back to being creative. I stopped a long time ago.
Thanks for bringing this up @blezyn
Thank you! It will be nice to see you get back to crocheting. I would love to see one of your creations soon.
I will sure get back to it, I’ve subscribed to @sheilyacrotchet YouTube channel.
That looks stunning, a beautiful garment on a beautiful model :)
Actually it really looks fantastic and I love the colours, orange and black are such a great combination, I see you say it did not take much time, well that is because you are so slender, not much material needed!
I am late to the party today and I know you got your gold star for today. Don't forget to take your wueit time tomorrow, have a great week andin the meantime
Thank you so much.
You're right, although I think it won't consume so much for a bigger size.
Thank you!

Oh my, that's so cool. Do you have a picture of them? I'd love to see it.
