Pentru postarea in limba romana, click aici
There are many versions of this stitch, but this is my favorite.
To begin we will need a chain multiple of 7+5
Row 1
Beginning with the 3rd stitch 1 double crochet in each stitch to the end of the row. Chain 3 and turn.
Row 2
Chain 3 doesn’t count as a first stitch
- 1 double crochet in the first 2 stitches
- *chain 7
- skip 7
- 1 double crochet in the next 7 stitches.
Repeat from * to the end of the row ending with 1 double crochet in the last 2 stitches. Chain 3 and turn.
Row 3
Repeat row 2. Chain 3 and turn
Row 4
- 1 double crochet in first stitch
- 2 double crochet in the second
- *chain 2
- 1 double crochet in the 4th stitch from the first row (the 7 stitches behind the chain 7). Make it over the 2 chai 7 from the previous 2 rows.
- chain 2
- 2 double crochet in the first double crochet after the butterfly motif.
- 1 double crochet in the next 5 stitches
- 2 double crochet in the last double crochet before the butterfly motif.
Repeat from * to the end of the row, ending with 2 double crochet in the stitch before the last one and 1 double crochet in the last stitch. Chain 3 and turn
This ia the base for this stitch and you can repeat this 4 rows as long as you want to finnish your project.
If you want to alternate the butterfly positions fallow the next steps.
Row 5
Repeat row 1
Row 6
To move the butterfly position begin with the set of 7 double crochet so you will have in total 9 double crochet at the beginning of this row.
Then fallow the same pattern ending the row with 9 double crochet in the last 9 stitches.
For the next 2 rows kip the butterfly pattern.
Repeat this 8 rows as long as you wish.
