My little girl is 7 years old today. She has a love for butterfly's, particularly the Monarch Butterfly. I saw
THIS pattern and I knew I just had to make them for her. They looked simple enough but let me tell you, crocheting around a molded hanger is much more tedious then it looks. I could only get one wing done per evening.

She wanted to act out the life cycle. Egg, caterpillar, pupa, butterfly. Love this little sweetheart! |
They were a huge hit. She is even sharing them with her new pet horse!
Do you have a pattern for this? Im trying to create fairy wings by crocheting around hangers like this but I have no idea what to do after covering the hanger. I'd appreciate any help you're willing to offer! Thanks :)
