This year, we’re finally breaking free of our chrysalis life at home! It’s time to spread your wings, needles, and crochet hooks beyond your living room sofa. That’s why, we suggest turning some balls of Katia yarn into crochet and knitted butterflies, as a symbol of joy and transformation.

We’re sharing some simple charted patterns for free, so that your creativity can take flight with these knitted and crochet butterflies.
