Aren't they gorgeous? These three butterflies were all crocheted, and the patterns to create them are free to download from MyPicot. There are dozens of crochet stitches and motifs on the site from the simple to the terrifyingly complex, making it an excellent resource for all crochet addicts – and not a bad place to visit for those just starting out, as some of the stitches, like these butterflies, are truly inspiring.
All the patterns are charted rather than written out, making it easier to see where different sections of motifs connect to each other. They all use the same key, which means that you can read them easily whether you're familiar with the British notation, the American – or perhaps some other system entirely – and you'll quickly become familiar with the most commonly used stitches.
