Hello Amigurumi Lovers…
One of the free amigurumi crochet patterns we will share today is the butterfly, whose photos and design belong to Ana Veiga. You can learn how to crochet these butterfly using the free amigurumi pattern. Thanks to dear Ana Veiga for this cute butterfly.
Materials
Worsted Yarn (I used Drops you #8 in light lilac and grey, as well as old pink for the embroidery). One ball of each color should be enough.
Crochet hook (I used 2.5mm).
Stuffing
Black embroidery thread
Embroidery/tapestry needle
Stitch markers
Note about color changes
When the pattern indicates a color change, it’s important to remember that the yarn change starts one stitch earlier: in the stitch before the color change, insert hook, yarn over and pull loop through stitch using the old color; then yarn over in the new color and pull loop through both loops on hook. The yarn of the color you aren’t using is carried from behind. Color changes are indicated by the new color inside parentheses ().

Insert the safety eyes between rounds 10 and 11, about 6 stitches apart. Embroider the face details:
1. Embroider the lashes.
Pull the embroidery thread to the front and to the back of the fabric in the indicated places, and guide it to the proper shape by placing a pin in the corner of the eye. Secure the thread to the place where the pin is, by coming out and going back into the same stitch with the thread tail.
