This piece is a tube piece or lace-up piece made with three different stitch sections. It is most easily made into a skirt or top! The sections are ribbing, butterflies, and tulips. The butterflies do have mesh sections to create the wings, so this piece is see-through at sections. There are three colors, the main color for the butterflies, the leaves of the tulips, and the petals of the tulips.

This pattern is worked flat and the various rectangles are sewn together horizontally. The stitches are sewn using the whip stitch. The three stitch sections can be made in any order, and it can be made tubular or lace up, so you can customize your garment. This pattern gives instructions to make a skirt or a top, but imagine a butterfly dress with a tulip waistline and trim, or a sweater with a butterfly body and tulips instead of ribbing at the bottom and the wrists. Get creative and live your off-the-grid fantasy with a whole butterfly/garden/fairy wardrobe.

There is no gauge required for this pattern as it is made-to-measure, but please make a gauge swatch for the butterflies at minimum. Because the fabric for the butterflies becomes slightly more narrow than the other sections, it's best to test how wide the skirt should be with the butterflies so it doesn't come out too small.

You can use any yarn and hook size for this pattern, but keeping in mind the mesh qualities of the stitches, you may choose a more warm-weather friendly yarn.
