There’s something magical about butterflies — delicate, colorful, and full of graceful motion. Now imagine capturing that beauty in yarn! Introducing the Crochet Butterfly Brooch — an elegant and charming accessory that’s simple to make and full of personality. Whether you pin it to a jacket, a handbag, or even a handmade quilted tote, this delightful brooch adds a whimsical touch to any look.
Why You’ll Love It
The best part? These little butterflies work up quickly and are perfect for using up leftover yarn. You can stitch a whole collection in every color of the rainbow — great for matching outfits, gifting to friends, or embellishing handmade projects.
By adding a small pin backing, your crochet butterfly becomes a wearable piece of art — ideal for crafters of all skill levels. It’s also a wonderful project for blending crochet with quilting.
Creative Ideas
Picture a soft quilt decorated with colorful butterfly pins for a breezy springtime feel, or a fabric journal with a handmade brooch clipped to the cover. When crochet meets creativity, the possibilities are truly endless!

-
Bold brights: sunflower yellow, coral, turquoise
-
Variegated yarn: for a unique, multicolored look
-
Metallic thread or embroidery floss: for smaller, sparkly brooches
Recommended hook size: 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm
Finishing touch: A brooch pin or safety pin for backing
