Most certainly, but please don't sell this pattern or include this pattern in any patterns that you sell or call your own (instead please link to http://joy2crochet.blogspot.com/2012/02/crochet-butterfly-applique.html )

Hi Betty,
DeleteAs I recall this makes about a 6 inch butterfly.(I am not 100% sure since it has been about two years since I last made one and I don't have any left over. I made it two fit on top of an eight inch granny square. However this could easily be manipulated by changing your yarn and/or hook size.
I hope this was helpful.

Does the chain 3 count as a DC?

DeleteI'm confused on round 4 where you wrote dtr 9 in next st. What does that mean?
ReplyDeleteDtr is the abbreviation for double treble crochet. It is basically a quadruple crohet stitch. You start by yarning over 3 times prior to entering the stitch. It is completed in the same wat as a double and triple crochet stitch is, by drawing the yarn through two loops at a time until just have one loop remaining. So in short the dtr goes like this:
DeleteYo 3 times, insert the hook into the desired stitch, draw up 1 loop, (yo and draw through two loops) 4 times.
For this part in the pattern you will need to do that 9 times in the same stitch before moving on.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
