Crochet Butterfree

Description

So, I used this pattern: cdbvulpix.blogspot.com/2011/06…. It's pretty good, but you need a knowledge of crochet in order to do it, because 1. they use a graph for the wings and 2. they offer no additional notes on the wings. The wings need a long tail when you start chaining, in order to stitch them to the body; and, frankly, they're flimsy. I stitched pipe cleaner across the top edge of each wing in order to get it to hold a little bit. 

Also, about six hours at a minimum to crochet and weave in ends on a wing where you cut the yarn after each color change. For the second wing, I just held the white and cut the black throughout, leaving long tails. Made life easier, just use the black tails to emphasize where the veins go.
