This will be a butterfly decorated with beads; we will tie three spiral elements to it.
For knitting we will need:
  • Three skeins of thread of different colors (it will take a little). I have the colors matched to the hat. Threads “Peony”, 50g – 200m.
  • I used a 2mm hook.
  • 2 beads, I have them green.

Now let's tie the spirals. We knit them according to the pattern using green threads. You can choose any length, I used 30 ch for a long spiral, and 20 ch for short spirals. I have 3 spirals in total.
