The Butterfly Chart Design Series

Along with crocheting the design into an afghan square or doing the design in cross stitch on a crocheted background, the chart is adaptable for other types of needlework projects, even quilt blocks.

This page is to make it easier for those of you who wish to print
out the pattern without printing the rest of the feature.

Leaves; Habitat
Square for the Butterfly Afghan
Designed by Sandi Marshall

Cross-stitch Detailing
Symbols:

Materials
Worsted weight acrylic yarn: 1 oz. white, 1/2 oz. dark green,
1/2 oz. light green, 1/2 oz. black,

Size G crochet hook
Guage: 4 stitches = 1 inch, 4 rows = 1 inch
Apprx. size of each finished square = 10 inches

Note: At the end of each row, you will chain 1 to turn.

Directions
To make this easier (and more fun) to complete, basic leaf shape colors
are crocheted in, but details are added afterward with a cross-stitch.
This eliminates crocheting with too many colors in any row at the same time.

Follow chart from right to left on right side rows, from left to right
on wrong side rows.

With white yarn, chain 41.
Following Chart 1:
Row 1: (first row on chart) sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea ch across.(40 sc)
Rows 2 - 40: Continue to follow chart.
End off.

Following Chart 2:
With a large-eye needle, using a cross-stitch (X), add the center details to
the leaves and the black outlining around the leaves.
