How to Make Mini Crochet Flowers for Butterfly Wings

Basic Mini Crochet Flower Pattern

Here's a simple crochet flower pattern to get you started:

1. Create a Magic Circle: Wrap yarn around your fingers to create a loop, insert the hook, pull up a loop, and chain 1 to secure.
2. First Round: Chain 1, work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Tighten the circle by pulling on the tail end.
3. Forming Petals: In each stitch, make the following: slip stitch, chain 1, 3 double crochets (dc), chain 1, slip stitch. Repeat around for all six petals.
4. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing, and pull through.

Repeat this process to make multiple mini flowers that you’ll later assemble into butterfly wings.

Assembling Mini Crochet Flowers into Butterfly Wings

1. Arrange the Flowers: Lay out four mini crochet flowers in a butterfly shape. Place two larger flowers at the top and two smaller ones at the bottom.
2. Secure with Yarn: Using the yarn needle, sew the flowers together at the center to form the shape of butterfly wings.
3. Adding the Body: Use black or brown yarn to crochet a small oval for the butterfly’s body. Place this between the wings and sew it in place.
4. Add Antennae: Cut a short length of yarn and fold it in half. Attach it to the top of the body, shaping the ends into antennae.
