How to Crochet the Antennae R1: MR – 9 x SC into the ring {9} R2: SL ST into 1st ST of R1, chain 7 STs, SC in 6 STs starting from 2nd CH from the hook (go through back bump of each CH as well), SL ST into the ST at the base of the chain FO and weave the yarn ends in; leaving one yarn end for sewing. How to Crochet the Belt R1: Chain 19 STs {19} circle using double crochet stitches; each circle will be connected with a slip stitch so you will not crochet in a spiral.

How to Crochet the Belt R1: Chain 19 STs {19}Wrap the chain around the waist, sew the ends together and weave yarn ends in. You may need to adjust the number of STs in the chain depending on how well you stuffed the waist. How to Assemble Your Crochet Butterfly Softie Decorating the wings: Sew the large dots on the bigger part of the wings and the small dots on the smaller part. Body and wings: Pin the wings to the back of the body first making sure that they look symmetrical from the front and back. You will need to sew them to the body as outlined in the photo below otherwise the wings will be too floppy. Head and antennae: Pin the antennae to the head first making sure they look symmetrical from the front and then sew them to the head. I placed the antennae between R3 and R5. Eye lash embroidery: You can embroider the eye lashes using a long piece of black thread yarn.
