While pinning some cool photos in Pinterest, I saw this white top with a crochet butterfly applique at the back. It was a featured photo from zaxarik a Russian website; no pattern was available. And even if there’s a pattern, it would be too big for a baby girl’s summer dress.
So, I made my own Flutterby. Working the applique is fun. With a mercerized cotton thread and a steel hook no.9, I played with pineapple lace motif for the wings, double crochet for the head and body, chain stitches for the antenna, and shell stitches for edging.
The hemline lace is also a combination of shell stitches and chain loops.
White Polka dots and hot pink always look cute on little girls. The final result is a Barbie-inspired summer outfit — a pinafore with a flutterby.
The sewing and crochet patterns for this set is available in Ravelry 
and Etsy.
