“Butterflies and Shadows“ Crochet Doily PDF Pattern

The pattern is a digital PDF file that you download once you complete your purchase.

This unique doily features 8 realistic butterflies surrounding a blooming flower center. The butterflies are made first, then joined to the flower center on the last round. The spaces between the center flowers look like the “shadows” of the butterflies fluttering above them. Buds are added between each butterfly to join them all together.
This bright, joyful doily will remind you of a beautiful summer garden! It can be made in a large variety of colors--the possibilities are endless!
