butterfly net I'm spending my time this evening searching the net for a pretty little charted butterfly pattern. Know of one?? I've made it to the armholes of wee one's Barefoot Knits tank and have suddenly decided that I need to put a little butterfly on the front. Because she loves butterflies!

What a delightful picture! Posted by: silverarrowknits at April 28, 2009 10:16 PMI love it that she smiles with her whole face/body. A delightful photo. ~ksp Posted by: Kelli at April 28, 2009 11:14 PMHere is one butterfly. If you google butterfly washcloth you can find some more Great idea to search for dishcloth patterns, Frieda! Thanks! :) Posted by: ALISON at April 28, 2009 11:25 PMYou can also use this link to make your own from a picture. http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/ Posted by: Kristal at April 29, 2009 2:28 AMHow's your French? :) There seems to be more of an interest in colourwork charts in France - there are loads of them available on French knitting sites - Google 'grille tricot' to find them (you can navigate them pretty easily even if you don't know any French). Here's one with a butterfly: http://crea-grilles.fr/ANIMAUX.html Hope that helps! :) Posted by: Glenda at April 29, 2009 5:51 AMI found a few lovely things on Ravelry if you search keywords "butterfly lace." The butterfly sock is a nice intarsia pattern, the dishcloth good for patterned stitches or the crocheted bookmark could be fun as an applique! Posted by: Sarah at April 29, 2009 9:35 AMYou might want to look for a crochet butterfly pattern and sew it on for a little 3D effect. http://www.allfreecrafts.com/crochet/crocheted-butterfly.shtml Posted by: Seanna Lea at April 29, 2009 10:07 AMthis one is kind of neat... http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/butterfly-hat Posted by: kimchi at April 29, 2009 12:18 PMThis is my favorite butterfly http://wendyknits.net/archives/3420 Posted by: Kathy at April 29, 2009 12:21 PMLove it! Try Brigitte's Knittingpage. She has all sorts of cute charts for knitting, including animals and anime characters. Posted by: Mary at April 29, 2009 2:27 PMThere was a recent thread on rav asking this same question, several nice suggestions there: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/stranded/616266/ Also love the idea of a sewn on crochet one for the 3D effect. Posted by: Meg at April 29, 2009 4:32 PMSo cute - just want to pick her up & give her a big hug (can you tell I'm missing my granddaughter who is about the same age & general appearance as Wee One?) Love the dress. Did you make it? Posted by: Donna at April 29, 2009 5:40 PMYes, Donna, I made the dress earlier this year. I've been surprised by how much I really like it on her! Posted by: ALISON at April 29, 2009 11:22 PMI remember reading the post about the dress, and I love it when Wee One models them. I don't have anything to add about the butterflies, but I did want to tell you she looks adorable in that picture. Posted by: Eve at April 30, 2009 8:26 AMHave you considered embroidering one on with duplicate stitch later? There's a really pretty butterfly in Poetry in Stitches that I've used before that's done with duplicate stitch. Posted by: Wendi at April 30, 2009 1:18 PMWendi, I love that butterfly! I've always wanted to make that sweater, but never worked up the courage. I'll have to check out that pattern again and consider the little butterfly. Thanks for the reminder! :) Posted by: ALISON at April 30, 2009 2:03 PMFound this one - hope this helps http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/motifbutterfly.htm Posted by: Marla at May 1, 2009 5:34 PMSusan B. Anderson has a butterfly pattern. Love your blog! Posted by: Nancy Topolski at May 2, 2009 12:40 PMSusan B. Anderson has a butterfly pattern. Love your blog! Posted by: Nancy Topolski at May 2, 2009 12:41 PMUnder "Papillon Cloth" on ravelry is a nice lttle lace one that would go well with the lacy ruffle border you put on the tank.
