Crochet Butterfly Glitz Pullover
I wanted to make something for myself. I had an idea and as usual it didn’t turn out as planned on the first try. When I first made this piece I didn’t realize that the drape in the front would be affected by working the butterflies and the piece ended up longer in the front than I wanted.
I was going to make a 2nd piece but decided to frog my work, frogging is where you Rip it, Rip it out but with using the yarn I had picked for this piece I learned that you can’t just RIP IT! There’s yarns out there that fuze together and it makes it even worse trying to pull it. Instead you need to work with both hands gently loosening the stitches apart as you go. Do not attempt frogging this yarn when mad, it will not go well.
I had already written out the pattern for my original version (as pictured at the bottom of this post) and have included it with the pattern. When I took pictures of the original piece a few people had mentioned they’d love to sew the sides together to turn it into a pull over dress.
One last thing, both these patterns are untested. I am publishing them as is, I am human and I make mistakes, if you work through this pattern and find a mistake or something that doesn’t make sense, please leave me a comment below and I will be willing to take a look. Would love to see if you hook one up, make sure to ‘hook up‘ on Ravelry.

Is this still unfinished and you have to sew the side seams together? What is the overall length of your top going to be when finished, if I may ask, and what is your height Debi? You look taller than I expected, but pics can fool you! I’m 5′, so am on the ’round’ side, having chronic pain disabling diseases and can’t move well at all, so I tended to gain over the years but have maintained for about 5 yrs and every pound not gained is a good one to me! 🙂
For my piece I just stitched under the arms. I’ll get some measurements together tonight after I get the kids to bed 🙂
In inches..
Front is 27 wide x 21 long
Back is 31 wide x 26 long
For the longer front it would be about 26 inches maybe a bit more with the drape.
I appreciate yo going thru the trouble to get that info. I’m glad I’ve learned how to modify patterns to fit me, my measurements will be quite different than yours… but hey, it is what it is, lol!
You’re welcome. Whatever fits right 🙂
Your patterns are amazing!
Ty 🙂
