The image you shared shows two crochet pieces — a round lace doily (blue) and a butterfly motif (yellow). I’ll explain how to make both step-by-step.

- Join, cut yarn, and weave in ends.
You now have a beautiful lace circle like the blue one in your image.
You can use it as a coaster, motif, or base for other designs.
🦋 PART 2: Yellow Crochet Butterfly Pattern
This butterfly is actually made from a circle motif, just like the blue one — then folded and tied in the center.
🌸 Materials
- Yellow yarn
- Crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Optional: beads for antenna tips
🌸 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Crochet the Circle
Follow the same steps (Rounds 1–5) as above for the blue circle.
This will be your butterfly’s wings before folding.
2. Fold the Circle
- Fold the round piece in half → now it looks like a semi-circle.
- Fold again (quarter fold) → you’ll see 4 petal-like wings.
3. Create the Body and Antennae
- Cut a long strand of the same yellow yarn (about 25–30 cm).
- Tie it tightly around the center of the folded piece.
- The center tie forms the body of the butterfly.
- The ends of the tie become the antennae.
Optional:
- Twist or braid the yarn ends.
- Add small beads at the tips for decoration.
4. Shape the Wings
- Gently spread and adjust the four wings.
- You can steam-block or lightly press it to hold shape.
Now you have a beautiful 3D crochet butterfly from a single circle motif 🌼🦋.
