Butterfly Waltz Scarf Crochet Pattern

HOW THIS SCARF IS MADE
The trapezoid-shaped motif used in this pattern is both moderately challenging and exceptionally entertaining. A variety of stitches will keep your interest piqued as the butterfly takes shape with each new round. Tips and photos appear alongside the instructions to guide you through every step.
When the motifs are arranged, the butterflies appear to dance in pairs. Rows of motifs are joined into two strips with single crochet. The strips are then joined together the same way. A simple picot border finishes the scarf with a delicate touch.
