PART 5: BUTTERFLY JOIN AND INFILL SQUARE
Friday 10th April 2020
CORONACAL PART 5:
Butterfly join and infill Square
US Terms
Joining 4 eye motifs into a butterfly couldn't be simpler. For my Butterfly blanket i've used a rainbow yarn and then round 7 is in cream and the final join is in Charcoal
You need 4 eye motifs to ROUND 7 after the spear has been joined, round 8 is a granny shell join as you go round.
Granny Shells are 3dc. Join is a sl st to replace the ch1, and worked into first completed eye motif.
Butterfly Pattern.
ROUND 8: First Eye motif, complete the granny shell round, att. cream yarn in the point of an eye motif, 3dc, ch3, 3dc, in same point sp, ch1, 3dc in next sp, repeat for all 21sps, 3dc ch3 3dc in second point, 3dc in next 21sps, sl st, to complete.
[23 granny shell each side]
ROUND 8: To joining the 2nd completed eye motif, a stitch mark can be helpful in the first joining space.
Att, Charcoal/black yarn in either point, 3dc, ch3, 3dc, in ch3 point, ch1, 3dc, in first sp, repeat in next 12sps, [total 15 granny shell on one side joined],
sl st into 16th sp, of first completed eye,
join as you go using a sl st, instead of 1ch st, between each of the next 9granny shells, complete the ch3 3dc at the second point. complete the second side of the second eye, with 3dc ch1, to end.
3rd Eye: Join in the same way to the 2nd Eye
4th Eye: Join in the same way but join from the point to the 1st eye to make a Butterfly.
Make as many Butterflies [4 eyes make one butterfly], as you want for the size of blanket you want, 4 or 6 full butterflies or make a central 2 butterflies and then add half butteries to the sides..depending on the size you want.
Joining them together is always joined with 9 granny shells
INFILL SQUARE
I have used a dramatic Rainbow Yarn for my Butterfly Blanket and continued with the dramatic black and white effect for the infill square.
But i know lots are using their stashes and using vastly different colours.
So I have left the colours for you to decide, but the 4th 5th and then the 6th joining round i would suggest need to be a strong contrast and the same for each square.
NOTE: Each round can be the same colours or a different colour, except round 3 [cream] this will bring you blanket together.
To make the circle into a square the 4th round uses a mix of
tr, [corners] and dc [sides] in one round
INFILL SQUARE PATTERN
Finger wrap of 10 wraps, This will give a slightly padded centre to your infilled square.
ROUND 1: 12sc into circle, sl st to complete. [12sc]
ROUND 2: Att yarn in any st, ch2 counts as first dc, dc, in same st, 2dc, in each st, sl st to complete.[24dc]
ROUND 3: Att cream yarn in any sp between pairs of dc, ch2 counts as first dc, 2dc in the same sp, 3dc between each pair of dc to end, sl st to complete.
[36dc or 12 granny shells]
ROUND 4: Att. charcoal/black yarn in any sp, between granny shells, ch6, counts as first tr, and ch3 sp, tr, into same sp, [corner], ch3, dc into next sp, ch3, dc into next sp, ch3, tr, ch3 tr into next sp, repeat to end, sl st to complete, cont. in charcoal/black [ 4 corners. 4 sides]
ROUND 5: Cont. in same colour, ch2 counts as first dc, 2dc, ch3 3dc in corner sp, 3dc in side sps, 3dc, ch3, 3dc in corner sps. repeat to end, sl st to compete.
[5 granny shell of 3dc each side]
ROUND 6: Join as you go round. Att cream in any corner sp, ch2 counts as first dc, 2dc, ch3, 3dc in same corner sp, 3dc in next 4 sps, repeat, 3dc, ch3, 3dc in corner sps, 3dc in each side sp,
[6 granny shells each side of 3dc]
JOIN AS YOU GO WITH THE SECOND AND THIRD SIDES OF THE SQUARE, INSETTING THEM INTO THE DIPS ON EACH SIDE OF YOUR BUTTERFLY.
6 Granny shells to join on 2 sides. This will leave 9 Granny Shells each side to join butterflies together.
JOINING BUTTERFLIES
Joining a second Butterfly to the first you must remember to join the eye motifs to each other in the butterfly pattern
AND JOIN TO THE FIRST BUTTERFLY MADE.
ALL butterflies are joined with 9 granny shells and all squares are joined with 6 granny shells...24 granny shells on each side of each EYE MOTIF.
