Crochet butterfly top full coverage with subtitles

foreign in today's video we're going  to be learning how to make the butterfly top I know you've seen it on different  platforms and so many people have tried to make it in different versions but I wanted to  bring my own definition of this top to you um I'm also very happy to announce the opening of  my Etsy shop so um you'll be getting some written patterns from my shop and yeah I'll be dropping  the link in the description box below so that if um you would want the written pattern  you can find it there so let's get started I'm using Robin for this project 100 acrylic  and then I'm also using a 3. 75 millimeter crochet hook a pair of scissors and a darning  needle to weave in the ends so let's begin this project is walked from the center of our  our top and then we spread the wings outwards so I'm going to be using a double strand so  if you have any medium weight yarn you can use that or any weight three can walk or any yarn that  recommends a three to four millimeter crochet hook so uh we're going to start off with a slip knot and then we are going to chain  up a total of four chains and this counts as a double crochet chain one and  then we are going to go into the very first chain with a total of three double crochets one two and three so we have a total of four double  crochets because the chain three counted as a chain as a double crochet  sorry so after this we're going to row two forward to you're going to chain up three turn  your work and this counts as a double crochet so we are not going to go into the very first  Stitch we are going to go into the second one and place a double crochet place a  double crochet in the third Stitch plus a double crochet in the very  last stitch on top of the chain three so we still have a total of four double crochets  chain three turn your work repeat sure too so go into the second Stitch with a double  crochet double crochet into the third Stitch and double crochet into the last Stitch so we have three rows right now and four row  four we are going to do some increases so chain up three turn your work and into the very first  Stitch you're going to place one double crochet and then into the next Stitch  Place one double crochet into the next one double crochet and into the very  last one you're going to place two double crochets so we have a total of six  double crochets four or four and then uh row five we are going to do the same  thing as row four so chain up three turn your work plus an extra double crochet in the first  Stitch and then double crochet in the next one double crochet in the next one double crochet  in the next one double crochet in the next and then we're going to do two double crochets in the  very last Stitch so go on top of the chain three and place two double crochets so that will be a  total of eight double crochets for your five this is what you should have so um six you're not going  to chain three you're going to turn your work skip the very first Stitch here go into the  second Stitch which is this one make a slip stitch and then we are going to chain up three which  counts as a double crochet double crochet in the next Stitch double crochet in the next  Stitch double crochet in the next Stitch and double crochet in the next so  that's a total of five double crochets and then we're going to eliminate  these two we are not going to be working anything in the last two stitches so 407 we are going to chain up three 10  hour walk double crochet in the second Stitch and all the way across for  a total of five double crochets so row six and seven have five double crochets and then from here you're going to just  make a very long chain of a hundred chains so 100 to 120 so just make a chain a simple chain of a hundred or a hundred and  twenty because these are the straps that are going to go to the back of our neck so make sure  it's long enough to take at the back of your neck so I have made total of 100 chains and I'm  going to cut my yarn at this point cut your yarn and pull through so we are done with the  first string on the left side of our butterfly now the next thing that you're  going to do is to make a slip knot and make the same amount of chains  so we're not attaching it here yet just make the same amount of chains the same  number of chains that you did for the other side so I'll do my 100 chains and get back to you so I'm done with my 100 chains and you can see  this chain is on its own it's not attached to anything so after your 100 chains you're not  going to cut your yarn we are going to be attaching it to this side that doesn't have  the the chain so this is the side which has the chain you're going to go into the very first  stitch on the opposite side and make a slip stitch so we've attached a second uh string on  this other side and now we are going to slip stitch into the next Stitch which is  the second Stitch and then chain up five slip stitch in the second chain from the hook slip  stitch in the third chain from the hook in the fourth and in the fifth so we shall have something  like this then slip stitch in the next Stitch slip stitch in the next Stitch and chain up five slip stitch in the second chain  from the hook and all the way down okay so we're done with that and then you're  going to slip stitch in this very last Stitch chain one and cut your yarn so those little uh  protruding points are going to act as our antenna for the butterfly so you can see this this is  how the middle section looks like and at this point we are done with the middle body of our  butterfly so I'm going to just get rid of this and we shall start working on our wings so we're done with this you can also get rid  of this tail here because we no longer need it so we're going to be working  on the left wing first so here we are and we are  ready to start on our wings so we're going to be first working on this  side so grab your yarn make a slip knot and attach it at this point that point there so  find a way of putting your hook through that point and then attach your yarn so we are attaching it at  the highest point of row five so um we are going to chain up five which counts as a double crochet chain two  then double crochet in that same exact spot like that then you're going to chain five go into the space between row five and row four  that point here and place one double crochet chain two and one more double crochet and then you're going to chain up three and go in the space between the third row  and the fourth row so it's that point here and do the same thing so one double crochet  chain two and one more double crochet so this is what we have we have five chains  on the upper side of our butterfly here and then three chains at the bottom I'll be  explaining why as we go along this is because um this is the bigger wing and then this is the  smaller wing so we're going to row two of the wing so chain up three turn your work plus three  double crochets in the very first chain two space so one two and three so that's a total of four  double crochets then you're going to chain up one plus three double crochets  in the next chain three space chain one plus three double  crochets in the next chain two space chain one and in the chain phase space we are  going to place a total of five double crochets and then you're going to chain one and  you're going to place a total of four double crochets in this very last space so one two three and four we are placing four double  crochets in the last space simply because we did a total of three double crochets here but  we had a chain one which counted as a stitch so that made a total of four so that's why  I've placed four double crochets at the last um space then we're going to row three of  the wing so you're going to chain three Row three of the wing you're  going to turn your work slip stitch in the second Stitch so not this  very first one the second one slip stitch in the third Stitch and then chain up three which  counts as a stitch plus one more double crochet in that same Stitch and then two  double crochets in the next Stitch so we have a total of four double crochets  before the chain one space in between then you're going to chain  two skip the chain one space and place two double crochets in each  of the next five stitches so we are going to turn five into ten so two double  crochets in each of the next five stitches so instead of having five double crochets you're  going to have ten double crochets in this section so we are done with place two double crochets  in each Stitch then you're going to chain two so skip the next chain one space and then go  into the middle Stitch of the three double crochets so skip this and then go into the middle  section and place a total of three double crochets and then you're going to  chain two and skip over this this Stitch and the chain one space and for  the next three double crochets you're going to place two double crochets in each of them  to turn the three stitches into six stitches so after that you're going to chain two skip over the chain one space go into  the next Stitch with two double crochets and then go into the next Stitch with two double  crochets so that's a total of four double crochets and we are going to eliminate the very last two  stitches we are not going to be working in them so that's how we end our row so  this is Row three of the wing so ruffle of the wing is going to start the  same exact way as Row three so turn your work and go into the second  Stitch and make a slip stitch go into the third Stitch and  make a slip stitch chain up three go into that very Stitch with a double crochet  then go into the next Stitch with two double crochets so that's a total of four stitches  So This Is How We Begin our rows for now this will create that tree being  on the edge of the butterfly so after your four double crochets  here you're going to chain two foreign and you're going to skip over the  chain to space and go into the very first double crochet here and you're going to  place two double crochets in the first Stitch and then one double crochet in the next  then two double crochets in the next and then one double crochet in the next  two double crochets in the next Stitch and one double crochet in the next so we've turned  the six double crochets into nine double crochets if you want to cross check this should be  nine stitches one two three four five six seven eight and nine and then you're going to  chain up two skip over the chain two space skip over the first Stitch and go into the second  Stitch with a total of three double crochets and then you're going to chain  two skip over this first Stitch this last Stitch of the three double crochets  skip over the chain two space and go into the next Stitch here the very first  Stitch and do two double crochets one double crochet in the next Stitch  two double crochets in the next one double crochet in the next so keep alternating  that until you finish up your stitches so we shall turn the tin double crochets into fifteen double  crochets if you want to cross check your work so the previous row had ten  double crochets in this section and now they should be 15 double crochets so  it's one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen and  fifteen and then you're going to chain up two skip over the chain two space and go into the  first double crochet and place two double crochets go into the second double crochet and place two  double crochets and that's the end of row four so this is what you should  have and now for row five you're going to turn your work  slip stitch in the second chain in the second Stitch sorry go into the third  Stitch with a slip stitch chain up three go into that very Stitch with a double  crochet for a total of two double crochets now place two double crochets in the next Stitch so that's a total of four double crochets chain two skip over the chain two space go into  the next Stitch and place two double crochets and then one double crochet all the way to  the second last Stitch here so you're going to place one double crochet in each Stitch  until the second last Stitch at this point foreign foreign so we've reached the second last Stitch  and we have one stitch left here and this Stitch is going to get two double crochets so  we've only increased in the very first here and the last one so chain two skip the  next chain two space skip this Stitch and go into the middle Stitch of the three double  crochets and place three double crochets chain two skip the first Stitch skip over the chain two space and go into the next Stitch  and place two double crochets at the beginning then one double crochet in the middle stitches  and then two double crochets at the end just like we did before in the previous section so in the very last Stitch here you're going  to place a total of two double crochets and then you're going to chain up two and complete  your row as usual so skip over this and go into the first Stitch with two double crochets and  in the next Stitch with two double crochets and eliminate the last two stitches and  then for row six one two three four five so we are number six and we are going  to do the same exact thing as row five slip stitch in the second slip  stitch in the third Stitch chain up three double crochet in the same Stitch double crochet twice in the next Stitch chain two and then here we are going to do here we're going to do the  same exact thing as row five so two double crochets in the first Stitch one double crochet in the middle stitches  and two double crochets in the last Stitch so two double crochets in this very last Stitch like that and then you're going to chain up  two skip the chain to space skip the next Stitch and in the middle Stitch you're  going to place three double crochets so at this point you should notice that we do  the same exact thing for the middle section here the changes are always at the bottom and at the  top but we keep it the same here and on the edges so chain two skip the next Stitch skip the  chain two space and then place two double crochets in the very first space and then  one double crochet in the middle stitches and two double crochets in the last  Stitch before the chain two space foreign Stitch and we're going to  place two double crochets there like this this is how your work should look like and then you're going to chain up two and complete  your row as usual so skip over the chain two space two double crochets in the next Stitch and  two double crochets in the second Stitch and now at this point we are going to be splitting  the upper wing and the lower wing so since we've stopped on this side for row six we are going to  be um working on the upper Wing first so let's start you're going to turn your work as usual slip  stitch in the second Stitch slip stitch in the third chain up three double crochet in the same  Stitch double crochet two times in the next Stitch chain two and now um we are going to continue  increasing in the in the first Stitch and the last Stitch but keeping the um middle stitches constant  so two double crochets in the first Stitch one double crochet in all the middle stitches and  then two double crochets in the very last Stitch so let's do this and then I'll show you where  we are going to be splitting the upper wing and the lower wing so the upper Wing is the  bigger wing and the lower wing is the smaller wing I think so um one double crochet  in all the middle stitches and when you come to the last Stitch  you're going to place two double crochets but you're going to switch up a few things because  now we are splitting this wing from the wing down so you're going to chain up two and go into the  very first Stitch here you're going to skip over the chain two space and go into the first Stitch  here and place a total of three double crochets and that's the end of row seven of the upper  wing so we're going to row eight turn your work so at this point we're going to be working  here and we shall come back to this side later on so turn your work slip stitch in the second Stitch  chain up three double crochet in the same Stitch double crochet twice in the next Stitch  chain two and do the same increase here and here and then one double  crochet in all the middle stitches so we're done with this and then you're going  to chain up two skip the next two chains and go into the first Stitch  with two double crochets and into the second Stitch with two double  crochets so by now you should be knowing how to end your row and how to start your row and now  from room 9 to row 11 you're going to do the same exact thing back and forth but only for the upper  Wing so go ahead turn your work slip stitch in the second Stitch slip stitch in the third and  then chain up three and Stitch your row nine and do the same exact thing do the increases  at the beginning and at the end and then one double crochet in all the middle stitches so  continue to do that until row 11 of the upper wing okay so here we are with our 11ers so  the first try is this one so one two three four five six seven eight nine ten  and eleven so after your 11 rows we are going to be doing something different so we  ended on the bottom part of the upper wing so you're going to turn your work slip stitch  in the second um Stitch slip stitch in the third slip stitch in the fourth slip stitch once  in the chain two space slip stitch in the next Stitch and slip stitch in the next so  after this you're going to chain up three go into the next Stitch with one double  crochet and one double crochet all the way up to the second last Stitch and the last  Stitch will get one we'll get two double crochets so one double crochet all the way up until  the second last Stitch and the very last Stitch will get two double crochets like  we've been doing for the previous rows so um we're going to do this foreign so the stitches have increased definitely and then in the very last Stitch  place a total of two double crochets and finish your row as usual so chain two skip the chain two space two double  crochets in each of the next two stitches so two in this one and two in the next one eliminating  the last two stitches we don't work anything there so this is row 12. row 13 you're going to turn  your work begin your row like normal slip stitch slip stitch in the third Stitch chain up  three double crochet in the same space so this is a total of two double  crochets double crochet twice in the next Stitch chain up two increase in the first Stitch after the chain  two space so two double crochets in here and you're going to do one double crochet until  you have five stitches left on this side so we're going to go all the way down with one double  crochet so after increasing in this Stitch you're going to do one double crochet in each of the  next stitches until you have five stitches left so one double crochet until  you have five stitches left so this is row 13.

so you count from the chain three because  it counts as a stitch so this is one two three four and five and when you have five  stitches lift that's the end of your row 13. you're going to turn your work this is  row 14. slip stitch in the second Stitch so this is one of the Stitches the one that  doesn't get a slip stitch so one two slip stitch in the third slip stitch in the fourth slip stitch  in the fifth and then slip stitch in the sixth and then chain up three and double crochet in  the next Stitch all the way up and when you get to the last Stitch you're going to place two  double crochets and then finish your row as usual so this is row 14.

so that even  Rose are going to look the same and the old drawers are going to look the same so we are coming to the end of row 14. don't  forget to place two double crochets in the last Stitch before the chain two space then  chain two and finish up your row as usual two double crochets in the first Stitch and  then two double crochets in the next Stitch like that so um row 15 is  going to be the same as row 13. you're going to start your row slip stitch  in the second Stitch slip stitch in the third chain up three double crochet in the same  Stitch double crochet twice in the next Stitch chain two make an increase  in the very first Stitch and go all the way down with one double crochet  until you have five stitches left of your row so this is row 15 it should be the same as row 14.

so we're going to keep repeating we're  going to keep swapping between roof um row 13 and 14.
