A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face
A free crochet butterfly pattern for a chubby amigurumi butterfly with a big round head, a lilac body and four padded wings. The wings fade from lemon to peach to pink and carry little white embroidered dots, and this butterfly plushie has ball-tipped antennae, shiny embroidered eyes and pink cheeks. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and stands about 13 cm (5 in) tall; the wings are stuffed lightly and pressed flat, and the face is embroidered. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes, a sweet spring gift.
Intermediate · 13 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.
Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.
The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.
