Part 3 - The Butterfly Stitch Blanket Crochet Tutorial! (Repeat and Border ideas)

[@jannetteanderson5068]

I've made many of your beautiful butterfly shawls & now making this lovely blanket. My step-daughter lost her full term baby 7 yrs ago & I decided to make her this lovely butterfly blanket for her forever keepsake in memory of her son William. I'm using Lion Brand Ice Cream Big Scoop yarn in variegated blues & its turning out truly amazing. I thoroughly love the way you teach & I've made many of your various items on your tutorials. Thank you for being so thorough from this Canadian gal

I'm on a roll .... Thanks to u for inspiring me and many of your followers. Such and excellent teacher. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@mk-hd1et]

Good morning , I have wanted to learn this stitch for a while now, new to crocheting, self taught . It took me several tries , but I nailed it. I especially nailed it when you added the third video. Sometimes it takes me a bit to get something,but when I do I’m unstoppable. I appreciate your time that you put into your videos and the dedication you have for your love of fiber arts. From the bottom of my heart many warm hugs and thank you .- Melody Kochan

[@sharinerenaud320]

Nobody does it like u do... I've noticed quite a few KZbin of this butterfly pattern but no one did it all the way like u did..... All little swats only , yours s the works for as big as u want to make it... Thank u sooooo much. I'm working away on mine rapidly. U're the best 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@beliagarcia120]

Still watching...love it.

[@dianarodriguez4581]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. My niece is going to have a baby girl and she wants butterfly 🦋 theme for her stuff. I already learned this pattern from you is going to be a great surprise for her. You are an amazing teacher. 👏

[@30mimismithu]

Very even beginner can follow you as you explain each stitch!

[@kimgoodwin2711]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I hadn't crocheted in many years and I am left-handed so I was having difficulties trying to follow tutorials and patterns but your clear instructions and repetitions have set me on the right path. It is especially helpful of you to specifically say and show where the stitches stop and start in rounds or at the ends and beginnings of rows. You have made this pattern so approachable that I have started a summer bedspread in number 5 crochet cotton and a size 2.5mms hook. Thank you again for all your hard work. Stay caffeinated!

[@rebeccassmith4640]

Thank you for these fantastic tutorials. I finally just jumped on the bandwagon and started one of these insect blankets. It's even more fun than I thought it would be, thanks to your patient tutoring.

[@wandamuise2636]

I finished my baby blanket! Yay!! Thank you again and this is now my favorite baby blanket! ☺

[@sharon7580]

Thank you for this tutorial, I believe I can do this. The only part I will have figure is the border,. I may have to visit bordering videos! 🤗❣️🌸👍

[@almaramirez2508]

I love your tutorials. Thank you very much.

[@carolbaesler3963]

Thank you very much it does make it easier for us to understand what we are doing. A lot or most wouldn’t do that for us. That is why I tell my friends about you . And a border how nice of you . Thank you 😊

[@Bookwitchery]

[@cindynavarro2852]

Am on my second shawl AND working the blanket. I LOVE this pattern!!! I know I say that about every pattern you do but I truly love this one. I hope you know about butterflies and the loved ones we have lost. The shawls are wonderful and the blankets are perfect for the children. I love you so much for your patience and commitment to keeping stitching alive and well. God Bless!

[@lindasargent4669]

Finished mine last night, ended up with 8 butterflies and did different color rows of them and did a border Of 1/2 doubles of all the colors I used, thank you again, love this blanket!!

[@theresacastillo3525]

Linda Sargent Hi linda, I was wondering if you can tell me what yarn you used for your blanket? Thanks,, Theresa

[@lindasargent4669]

Theresa Castillo I used Caron one pound and a g hook

[@theresacastillo3525]

Linda Sargent Thank you so much for the info, I used mandala yarn 3, but I think it's to thin ! caron yarn is a better choice! thank you again! have a great day!

[@mrsmarciad]

Thank you for the timestamps so useful. x

[@kellypeters8330]

Absolutely gorgeous blanket,thank you so much!

[@tutenkhanom]

Thank you so much for this pattern!! YOU ARE AWESOME! You explain so beautifully and coherently. You are so thoughtful. Your patterns are gorgeous. I just love this pattern especially for a baby blanket. Currently making a baby pink for a baby girl and its so lush!! Please keep up with new designs and more tutorials. Its very entertaining and amusing!! Thank you again!

[@karensemones9302]

Thanks for your detailed videos. I made the butterfly prayer shawl and I am working on this butterfly blanket now. My Hospice group loves this pattern.

[@myrabrown5543]

Thank you. Love the border ideas.

[@annieserino6396]

I just found your channel and I love your videos. It's great how you stay with us and explain everything so well.

[@deniseharrison1410]

I really love this and have started making a blanket for my reborn dolls. What boarder design would go well with this. For me it needs something to finish it off. Other than that, you explained things in such an easy way to understand. Thank you 😊

[@aflowerthatbloomsinadversity]

Just finished mine today, I love it 😻

[@tazholden4121]

SO COOL LOVE IT SO PRETTY

[@gracenesbitt3172]

Thank you this is a very beautiful blanket and I cant wait to start mine. I love all the things you make keep up the great work.

[@Mzdiana82]

I totally got this now. I definitely will be doing this beautiful blanket for my next project. Just finished the Midwife Inspired Blanket and it turned out Beautiful! Thanks for sharing and your time. By the way I've seen other tutorials on this and they ALL did DC on the wings instead of a Treble, and the sides dipped down because of the DC. Your way IS 100% better. Thanks again and for the Inspiration. 💖👏🖒😍

[@Stephanie0419]

Mzdiana Midwife blanket is in my to do projects 😃

[@Mzdiana82]

Estefania Ramirez Navarro it's totally Awesome! Stunningly Beautiful blanket!

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

I would love to figure out how to make this into a rectangle blanket! If anyone has any ideas, I’d be extremely grateful! Thanks for this pattern and tutorial 🙌

[@joeyxoxox7915]

Please do a video on how you did the Arbor blanket from the Arbor shawl pattern..Thank you for all your crochet videos. Love Yah Man.

[@kathybrenneman1868]

Hi Fiber Spider, I'm still saying this is beautiful. I just don't know about this one. It is pretty complex. On second thought I may wait a while before attempting it. There are so many I want to do.This one will have to take a number. Blessings to you and yours. 💜💜💜 Kathy B. (Fairylady0227)

[@Mzdiana82]

Kathy Brenneman you can do it!

[@yaraduartedaconceicao3869]

Very helpfull!

[@cherylmoore7369]

Beautiful blanket! Thank you for the tutorial! You mentioned that this might be a blanket to block. Would you please do a tutorial on blocking? Would love to learn and can't find a tutorial.

[@lisevachon8448]

J aime

[@denisestetler3887]

Hi. Love this pattern. A friend of mine wants a larger size to fit her bed. How would I go about making this big enough to fit a Queen sized bed?

[@conniestone6251]

W0W, that is a LOT of butterflies! I might consider making several BLOCKS (like the blankie), and then join them together so that the heavy weight distribution does not cause misshapen motifs?

[@michelleneilson7573]

Hi enjoyed following your video, i got to the 2nd repeat 7-10 how do i keep going and how do i increase to make a big blanket i hope to hear from you soon as i'm at a stand still

[@theresacastillo3525]

I was wondering what would be the best yarn to use for this blanket? would mandala yarn work? can someone let me know what their using? Thanks for the repeat! beautiful pattern!

[@lucillegriffin9525]

Theresa Castillo I'm using mandala in the phoenix colorway

[@theresacastillo3525]

Thanks Lucille , im going to try the mandala yarn, I hope it works, I like the self stripping yarn !!!

[@cindynavarro2852]

I used the Mandala in the Gnome colorway for the Butterfly shawl. Came out beautiful. I used an H hook for that, but would probably use a G for the blanket to make it less lacy and more substantial. Have fun!!

[@candycarolharris0624]

I now have 4 butterflies how do I do the next round

[@annab9847]

On the corners, instead of doing dc, fp-fp-fp, dc; do you think dc-dc, fp, dc-dc would work just as well???

[@FiberSpider]

Yes I think it would work, would just have a slightly different effect/look, always fun to experiment 😉🕷☕🕸

[@colinstanton56]

Can i ask do you ever block your work when finished if so how do you do it i've just finished the butterfly stitch blanket and i used a silky yarn which looks a bit bumpy it needs blocking to lay flat...

[@pippajones8112]

Do you have a written pattern by chance?

[@sherremullins3354]

Are there any written instructions? Thank you!!

[@anguafluffyfeet4834]

Sherre Mullins i don't know how to paste a link here, so ravelry.com, library, look for butterfly Stitch prayer shawl

[@anguafluffyfeet4834]

Sherre Mullins i am so sorry, thought you wanted to make the shawl. But the blanket is almost the same, Just no turning of your work.

[@anguafluffyfeet4834]

Ok, googled some, search for butterfly garden by Chris Simon. He only made a square but Just add more rows.

[@sherremullins3354]

Thank you!

[@sherremullins3354]

Thank you so much!!

[@UzziahRoberts]

Where's the increases?
