Butterfly Garden: A Free Crochet Pattern For You

Several years ago I designed a set of doilies for Annie's Attic called 'Vintage Floral Doilies.' The publishing rights have reverted back to me, and I am now happy to make these patterns available to you for free. I am adding the doilies in the set to the blog one at a time, and hopefully I will have them all available for you soon. 

These are my original patterns, so they are written differently from the ones AA published, but they are the same designs. 

Today, I have a pattern  called "Butterfly Garden" for you.   I hope you will enjoy it!
