This is a set of intarsia charts for a collection of beautiful British butterflies, including the Common Blue, the Peacock, the Orange Tip and the Red Admiral!
These squares can be used for all sorts of wonderful projects such as part of a blanket, bunting, or unique wall art as you can see from the images! It is also a great way to use up scraps of yarn.
Knitted in stocking stitch following the chart from bottom to top, and from right to left. If knitted in DK yarn with 4mm (6 US, 8 Old UK) needles the finished squares will measure approx 20cm x 20cm. The butterfly's antennae are embroidered on at the end.
I have included some simple instructions on how to add a border, or ribbon holes if you want to use the squares for bunting.
Ruby and the Foxes COM
Growing up on a farm in North Yorkshire I developed a huge love of animals and nature, and I still love nothing more than heading out and exploring with my best bud Ruby in the countryside of Surrey where I now live, so these have always been a natural source of inspiration for me. This along with Ruby's uncanny resemblance to a fox (according to nearly everyone we meet when we're out on a walk!) 'Ruby and the Foxes' seemed like the perfect name (and I like how it sounds as though she has her own rock band!).
I love designing picture patterns of animals and nature, and I especially love seeing the results when someone has knitted one of my designs! If you'd like to see what I'm working on at the moment (or what adventures Ruby and I are up to!) then please follow me on Instagram @rubyandthefoxes
