Crochet Mini Heart Butterflies

The wings of these cute tiny crochet Butterflies are made in the shape of little hearts. This Butterfly free crochet pattern is another addition to my series of heart-shaped appliques.

These crochet Butterflies will be perfect for handmade cards. You can use them for any clothes embellishment, scrapbooking, etc. Also, you can use them to decorate a hairpin, keychain or anything you can think about.

For my crochet Butterfly, I’ve used the same pattern as for the Crochet Mini Heart Bow. You just need to make antennae and you will have a Butterfly! This is a very quick and easy project.
