What is an Even Better Symbol of Summer? More Butterflies!

I posted a potholder of a butterfly just before this one, so continuing the theme, two butterflies. I once again used Hipster cotton yarn for the variegated one. This pattern is a free one on Ravelry. The link is below.

What is a Better Symbol of Summer - a Butterfly

One of the most fun parts of knitting a butterfly potholder is there is no limit to colors! I used Hipster cotton yarn for the background. One piece of advice is select a solid color that does not appear in the range of color of the variegated one. If you do, your design can disappear into the background instead of standing out. Don't ask me how I know.

I can't seem to find where I got this pattern, but it probably came from Pinterest. There are lots and lots of butterfly patterns on Pinterest from simple silhouettes to complicated wings. Have fun. I did.
