Next Row—Sl st into loop, * ch 4, sl st in next loop, repeat from * all
around, break thread.
SMALL RIGHT WING: Ch 4, 2 d c in 4th st from hook, ch 1, turn.
2nd Row—1 s c in 1st d c, 2 s c in next d c, 1 s c in next st, ch 1,
turn.
3rd Row—1 s c in each s c, ch 1, turn.
4th Row—1 s c in 1st s c, 1 d c in each of the next 2 s c, 1 s c in next
s c, (top of wing), do not turn.
5th Row—Working down long side, ch 5, 1 d c in next row, * ch 2, d c in
next row, repeat from * once, ch 2, 1 d c, ch 2, 1 d c in point, working
up opposite side, * ch 2, d c in next row, repeat from * 3 times, ch 2,
d c in same space, ch 2, tr c in next d c, ch 2, tr c in next d c, ch 2,
d c in same space with ch 5, ch 2, join in 3rd st of ch.
Next Row—Start to join wings. Sl st into loop, ch 2, sl st in 3rd loop
to right of center from lower edge of large wing, ch 2, sl st in next
loop of small wing, * ch 2, sl st in next loop towards lower edge of
large wing, ch 2, sl st in next loop of small wing, repeat from * once,
* ch 4, sl st in next loop of small wing, repeat from * around remainder
of small wing, break thread. Work 2 left wings in same manner as right
wing to the joining.
For joining work 4 loops on small wing, then join next 3 loops to
corresponding loops on left side of large wing and finish same as other
small wing.
To join wings to body, ch 4, sl st in 4th st from hook for other feeler,
ch 4, sl st in 1st s c of 2nd row of body (top of head), 1 sl st in each
of the next 2 sts, ch 2, sl st in 3rd free loop to right of joining of
large left wing, ch 2, skip 1 st on body, sl st in next st, ch 2, sl st
in next free loop of same wing, ch 2, skip 1 s c of body, sl st in next
s c, ch 2, sl st in next free loop of same wing, ch 2, skip 2 s c of
body, sl st in next st, ch 2, sl st in 1st free loop of small wing, ch
2, skip 2 s c of body, sl st in next s c, * ch 2, sl st in next loop of
small wing, ch 2, skip 1 s c of body, sl st in next st, repeat from *
once, sl st down remainder of body to point, work 3 s c in point then sl
st in each of the next 3 sts up opposite side, ch 2, sl st in 3rd loop
of small right wing to right of joining and join the 2 left wings same
as opposite 2 wings, break thread.
Work 6 more butterflies in same manner.
IF YOU ARE MAKING SMALL CENTER (3½ INCHES) SHOWN ABOVE: With White ch 8,
join to form a ring, ch 3, 13 d c in ring, join in 3rd st of ch.
2nd Row—* Ch 4, s c in next d c, repeat from * all around ending row
with ch 1, d c in same space as beginning (this brings thread in
position for next row).
3rd Row—* Ch 4, s c in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row
with ch 1, d c in d c (14 loops).
4th Row—Ch 3, 2 d c in same space keeping last loop of each d c on hook,
thread over and pull through all loops at one time, * ch 5, cluster st
in next loop (cluster st: 3 d c in next loop keeping last loop of each d
c on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time), repeat
from * all around, ch 5, join to 1st cluster st.
5th Row—Ch 3, 4 d c in same space, 5 d c in next cluster st, repeat from
* all around, join.
6th Row—Ch 3, 1 d c in each of the next 4 d c, * ch 2, 1 d c in each of
the next 5 d c, repeat from * all around, ch 2, join.
7th Row—Ch 3, 1 d c in each of the next 4 d c, * ch 2, d c in next loop,
ch 2, 1 d c in each of the next 5 d c, repeat from * all around ending
row with ch 2, d c in next loop, ch 2, join.
8th Row—Ch 3, 1 d c in each of the next 4 d c, * ch 3, s c in next d c,
ch 3, 1 d c in each of the next 5 d c, repeat from * all around ending
row with ch 3, s c in next d c, ch 3, join.
9th Row—Ch 3, 1 d c in each of the next 4 d c keeping last loop of each
d c on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, * ch 4,
1 d c, ch 3, 1 d c in next s c, ch 4, 5 d c cluster st over next 5 d c,
repeat from * all around ending row to correspond.
10th Row—* Ch 5, skip 1 loop, 2 d c, ch 3, 2 d c in next loop, ch 5, s c
in next 5 d c cluster st, repeat from * all around.
11th Row—* Ch 6, skip 1 loop, 2 d c, ch 3, 2 d c (shell) in next loop,
