Why It’s Called the Butterfly Top
This beautiful top gets its name from the butterfly-inspired shape formed by the crochet design. The wide wings on the sides and the fitted bodice mirror a butterfly’s delicate silhouette, creating a look that’s both playful and flattering. Thanks to the open, airy stitches, it feels lightweight and breathable — perfect for hot summer days or for layering over a tank top or swimsuit.
Crochet Stitches You’ll Use
The pattern mainly uses basic stitches, making it approachable even if you’re new to crochet. Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Chain (ch): Forms the foundation of your top.
-
Single Crochet (sc): Perfect for tighter areas like the neckline and hem.
-
Double Crochet (dc): Creates the gorgeous openwork design for the wings.
-
Slip Stitch (sl st): Used for joining different sections together.
