Eyes:
1) We start knitting with black yarn:
6 sc in magic ring
2) 6 inc (12)
3) (1 sc, inc) * 6 (18), change the thread to blue
4) (2 sc, inc) * 4, 1 sc, change the thread to white
5) we transfer the thread up, behind the eye, stepping back from the blue 2 loops, pull the white thread through it, continue to knit in a circle, insert the hook immediately next loop and knit:
(3 sc, inc) * 4, 2 sc, sl-st, pull the thread, fasten, cut, leaving the end for sewing.
Eye Design:
Left eye knit 15 sl-st black thread “Vita” “Coco”, starting from the top from the black edge; when you do another sl-st, a little thread
Pull out so the eye does not tighten.
Next, we thread the black thread into the needle and carefully sew a strip over the blue color with ordinary stitches (see photo).
On the right eye, we make sl-st with a black thread, starting from the white edge, counting 6 loops along the white edge from the bottom, and knit 15 sl-st to black, we also sew black stitches with black thread over blue.
For sewing, leave the threads of black and white colors, the remaining threads can be tied under the eye to a knot and trimmed.
Design and assembly
Insert pins between 12 and 13 rows, if you count from the top of the head. To do this, mentally draw a straight line from the top of the neck to the neck, dividing the head in half, find the center between 12 and 13 side by side, and step back from it on both sides by 2 loops, insert pins (the distance between them 4 loops – see photo).
We begin to make a tightening: we introduce a needle under the 21st row (in which we knitted 12 increases), in the center of the neck, then we bring the needle to the first pin, then we insert the needle into the second pin, stretching the thread over the product, and bring the needle to the place where it was originally introduced the needle, retreating 1 loop to the side, tighten, tie the threads on a couple of knots, cut, hide in the head.
We embroider a nose
(I embroider with a pink thread “Vita” “Coco” in 2 addition).
Sew on the eyes, directly above the hook, the distance between the eyes is about 1-2 loops.
We embroider cilia and eyebrows (black thread “Vita” “Coco” in 2 addition).
We embroider a mouth (black thread “Vita” Coco in 2 additions).
Sew horns (on the top of the head).
The design of the wings:
We put the wings in such a way that the edges, which are visually more straight, look at each other (see photo).
Sew wings
(a cross shows how exactly we sew together – see photo).
Next we tie the wings around the perimeter
yarn “Alize” “Softi” in 2 two threads.
I pulled a loop (as we usually do, planning to make a single crochet, we have 2 loops on the hook), looped a working thread around the hook (see photo), pulled a working thread on top of these 2 loops and knitted sc.
On the front side (in the place where I sewed the wings), I tied the wings in pairs sl-st several loops with the same yellow thread that the wings were tied, stretching each column slightly so that the canvas does not stretch.
Next, we decorate the wings at our discretion =)
I embroidered a pattern on the sl-st wings, pulling the thread slightly so that the wings did not tighten, and did it so symmetrically on both sides of the wings.
When the butterfly wings are ready, we sew them to the back with a seam to the back, I sewed in an oval, (see photo).
YOUR BUTTERFLY IS READY =)
LOVE THE RESULT =)
