Materials Needed:

Cotton yarn in 6-7 colors (rainbow tones or gradient)
4.0 mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Scissors
Measuring tape

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Butterfly Wing Base (Make 2 Wings)

Start with a magic ring.
Work rows of double crochet (dc), increasing at the center to form a curved wing shape.
Alternate colors every 4-5 rows for the rainbow effect.
Shape the top edge flat and keep the lower ends slightly pointed.

2. Join the Wings

Align both wings back-to-back with curves facing outward.
Use the main color (pink or preferred) to single crochet the center seam, joining the two wings.
This creates the body of the butterfly and the tie section.

3. Add the Side Straps and Neck Tie
