Body:
Starting with moderate sized tail, Ch11, slst in 2nd ch from hook and remaining ch sp(10slst). Fasten off but leave slightly long tail for sewing. Fold around the body of the butterfly. Body of butterfly should fold in half evenly.

Use one of the tails to sew the body together at the first slst of your ch11.
