Soft blue wings spread around a narrow golden-beige body in this crochet butterfly, with two knotted antennae rising above the head. The upper wings are long and rounded, while the lower pair is smaller and almost circular, giving the design its four-wing shape. This free butterfly crochet pattern uses separate flat pieces joined behind the center body, leaving textured stitches and curved wing edges clearly visible.

The Four-Wing Construction
Each upper wing begins along both sides of a foundation chain to create an elongated shape with a rounded outer tip. The smaller wings are worked outward from a center ring, then arranged below the larger pair. A slim crocheted tube finishes the body and covers the points where the wings meet. The golden-beige yarn continues into the short antennae, with a knot at each tip. Keep the wing pieces flat during assembly so their outlines remain distinct.
