CROCHETED BUTTERFLY PATTERN

The light blue circle is what the butterfly looks like before you fold it. The one with the railroad ribbon is used as a book mark.
the other two have been used as refrigerator magnets, hair clips, & decorative pins. I know of a little old lady that has them pinned all over her curtains.
