Butterfly napkin patterns. Napkins with voluminous crochet butterflies

Good afternoon dear friends!

Since it's still hot summer, I want to share summer ideas.

Today I want to talk not so much about beautiful napkins with voluminous crocheted butterflies, but about how to crochet unusual voluminous butterflies.

I don’t know if such butterflies with four wings exist in nature, but crocheted ones create such an effect as if they are flapping their wings and flying. Don't you think so?

I knitted one such butterfly and decorated a knitted decorative pillow with it.

It will also look great on a baby’s hat and other children’s clothing, you can decorate a bag and come up with other ideas.

But since our blog is dedicated to home decor, let’s get back to our napkins.

Napkins with voluminous butterflies

I found both napkins with voluminous crocheted butterflies on the Internet a long time ago. Apparently they were published in a foreign magazine.

I looked around the sites where there are such napkins, I found one diagram of the central part of a green napkin, but there was no description of knitting and a pattern of butterflies for it.

I'll try to fix this situation.

Simple napkin with voluminous butterflies

We take any thin cotton yarn and hook number 1.

Here you can experiment with color, but it seems to me that there must be two colors - the main one and for decoration. Napkins made in one color will not be as impressive. Well, that’s my opinion, maybe I’m wrong.

What I like about these napkins is how incredibly simple they are. At the same time, they are somewhat unusual and so light and elegant.

So, for knitting a napkin in green, we use the pattern of a regular circle, made with single crochets and air loops between them. There is probably no point in making a detailed description of his knitting.

In the 2nd, 8th, 13th and 19th rows we change the thread to an additional (green) color.

The napkin is decorated with separately knitted butterflies. Here we will dwell on them in more detail.

Crochet voluminous butterflies

On YouTube I found many master classes on knitting such voluminous butterflies. Some people, especially beginner knitters, are interested in watching such a detailed process. You can easily find such a video.

But it’s better for me to knit while sitting in a chair and have a diagram in front of me, and for many needlewomen too.

I found this pattern for knitting a voluminous butterfly:

But even when knitting with thin threads in double crochets according to this pattern, the butterfly turns out to be quite large and is completely unsuitable for our napkin.

This diagram may also be useful to someone, I leave it as is. And for the napkins we will knit the butterflies almost the same way, but using single crochet stitches.

At the same time, I reduced their number in each row.

We close 6VP into a ring.

1st row: 8 groups of three stitches with one crochet and 3 ch between them.

2nd row: Please note that the knitting needs to be turned and knitted in the opposite direction to the first row.

Here in each arch of the first row we knit 5C1H twice and 5VP between them.

3rd row: single crochet between two adjacent groups of stitches from the previous row. And I tied the arch like this: 7С1Н, 2ВП, 7С1Н.

4th row: single crochets.

Change the color of the yarn in the rows as you like.

It turns out to be such a flower: it’s not very beautiful and its edges are very frayed.

But that's how it should be.

Now we fold the flower in half, so we get a voluminous crocheted butterfly.

You can also make mustaches.

Knit a chain of air loops along the length of the butterfly's body. The number of loops is determined by fitting. I got 8.

Then we knit another 6 chain stitches for the antennae and tie them with single crochets. Another 6VP for another tendril, tie with RLS.

My butterfly was 6 x 4.5 cm in size (I knitted it from iris).

Napkin with voluminous butterflies and flowers

Here is another interesting napkin with voluminous butterflies, which are sewn to the central part using one wing.

I couldn’t find a diagram for this particular napkin. But here everything is very simple - knitting with arches. You can use it.

You can knit any flower in the center you like. We will omit the story about it for now, since the main topic today was crocheting voluminous butterflies. You can knit a flower, as in, the diagram of which was published earlier.

By the way, butterflies for napkins do not have to be so voluminous; you can knit any openwork butterfly. we have.

The admiration for these little flying wonders of nature seems to be determined genetically, built by generations of butterfly enthusiasts in our nature.
It's hard to be afraid of a creature so delicate, colorful and the fulfillment of our eternal dream of soaring trips.

Today we knitted a butterfly napkin, and how many species of butterflies are there in the world?
Today the world has probably more than 30,000 species of butterflies and moths, six times as many, with assets of more than 3,000. They constitute the second largest group of insects.

Is a moth a butterfly?
Yes, this is the moth Butterfly of the night. Butterflies are conditionally respected because of their appearance and time of flight - diurnal butterflies and moths - active at night. Moths tend to be thicker and more “hairy” and daily butterflies are more compact and “less hairy”.

Why do moths fly towards the light?
Until now, scientists do not agree on the reasons for this phenomenon. Apparently they developed an evolutionary-based light navigation mechanism that serves in a similar way as a ships beacon.
