- Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), 2 double crochets in the same stitch, 3 double crochets in the next stitch, 3 double crochets in the following stitch, 3 double crochets in the next stitch, 3 double crochets in the following stitch, repeat between * to * once. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3. (24 stitches)

Butterfly Body:
- For the body, you can either crochet a simple chain of desired length or use a piece of contrasting yarn. Sew the body to the center of the butterfly wings, securing it in place.
Blanket Assembly:
- Make as many butterfly motifs as you desire, and arrange them as you like on a flat surface to create the layout for your blanket.
- Once you’re happy with the arrangement, join the motifs by sewing them together. You can use a whipstitch or another joining method of your choice.
Background and Border:
- After all the butterflies are joined, you can create a background for your blanket. You can use a solid color or a different pattern if you prefer.
- To create the background, simply crochet rows of your chosen stitch around the butterflies. The number of rows you crochet will depend on the size you want for your blanket.
- Once you’re satisfied with the size of your blanket, you can add a border. A simple single crochet or half-double crochet border can provide a neat finish. You can use a single color or multiple colors for the border.
- Fasten off, weave in any remaining ends, and your butterfly crochet blanket is complete!
