This pattern is available for free.

Butterfly is inspired by the blue butterfly Morpho ssp., that has wings in such beautiful blue colours that they are sometimes used for jewellery. Accentuate one or more of the little butterflies by embroidering them with the Paia glitter yarn.

The sweater is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked with raglan increases, then the stitches are divided for sleeves and body and each section is finis- hed separately. The body and sleeves are worked with a lovely stranded butterfly pattern. And if you want you can embroider over one or more of the butterflies with duplicate stitch.
