🧶 Materials You’ll Need

To create this lovely crochet butterfly hair clip, gather the following materials:

• Yarn: We recommend Alize Bebe Sekerim, a soft and baby-friendly yarn perfect for delicate accessories. Use two contrasting colors for the butterfly wings — here, we chose Red and Beige for a vibrant yet elegant look.

• Crochet Hook: Size 3.5 mm (US E/4) to match the yarn thickness for perfect stitch definition.

• Metal Hair Clip: A sturdy alligator-style clip works best to hold the butterfly securely in the hair.

• Scissors and Yarn Needle: For trimming yarn and weaving in the ends neatly.

📏 Finished Size and Gauge

Your finished butterfly will measure approximately:

• Length: 10 centimeters (about 4 inches)

• Width: 4.5 centimeters (about 1.75 inches)

This size fits perfectly on most standard hair clips, making it ideal for toddlers, teens, and adults alike.

Gauge Info

Although gauge is less critical for small accessory projects, aim for approximately 18 stitches and 10 rows per 10 cm when working double crochet stitches with the 3.5 mm hook and recommended yarn.

🔠 Important Abbreviations

This pattern uses Standard American Crochet Terms, which are widely recognized and beginner-friendly. Here’s a quick reference:

✍️ Pattern Overview & Instructions

The Crochet Red Butterfly Hair Clip Pattern is constructed in two main parts: the bottom wing layer in beige, and the top wing layer in red. These are crocheted separately and then sewn or glued together onto the hair clip base.

Step 1: Bottom Wing Layer (Beige)

• Start by chaining a foundation chain of 15 sts.

• Work double crochet (dc) stitches along the chain to build the wing shape.

• Use increases and decreases to form the rounded butterfly wing edges.

• Finish with slip stitches (sl st) to secure the round.

Step 2: Top Wing Layer (Red)

• Repeat similar steps but with fewer stitches to create the smaller top wing.

• Add decorative stitches such as picots or scallops for texture.

Step 3: Assembly

• Sew or hot-glue the two layers together, aligning them carefully.

• Attach the completed butterfly to the metal clip using yarn or glue.

• Weave in all loose ends for a clean finish.
