This one has such a folk art design that works so beautiful with the free flying wings of a butterfly. Use colors like the ones pictured to contribute more to the folk art design.

Mariposa Set with Butterflies

This is my new favorite way to use a lazy daisy stitch. Use it to make the wings of a butterfly in a variety of colors.

Monarch Embroidery Pattern

The classic butterfly that is fairly iconic in art is the Monarch.

These gorgeous orange butterflies look lovely in this butterfly hand embroidery pattern.

Butterfly Female

For a unique twist on a butterfly, use this pattern that features a female with butterfly wings, but one of the wings is actually made of flowers. A cool design to try.

Butterfly Magic

If you are looking for a cute pattern to display in an embroidery hoop, this one is it.

From the tassel flowers to the French knots in yellow on the background and center of the flowers, this is a pretty piece.

Butterfly with Roses

Many of these patterns use the satin stitch like this one to make it look like you are painting with thread to create butterfly wings.

Then add a bit of texture with the roses. So cute.

Butterflies with Buddleias

This pattern features lots of details. From the different sections on the wings to that pretty flower these butterflies are sitting on.

Get ready to enjoy working on this labor of love.


Butterfly Frame Pattern

This pattern frames the butterfly with a gorgeous floral wreath or frame. The muted colors give this pattern a nice earthy feel.

Butterfly with Flowers

For hand embroiders who want a bit of bold flair, use colors like these and a pattern like this one. Continue the unique and different look by using a non-traditional embroidery hoop shape.

Butterfly Needle Painting

Get to needle painting a Monarch landing right on top of a delicate little daisy with this pretty pattern. Be sure to use a light blue sky-colored fabric background for a nice finishing touch.

Butterfly Flower Garden

Blues also make for a pretty butterfly wing color. Then add in other color shades by utilizing florals like these.

Blue Butterfly Pattern

This one has such pretty details. It almost looks like a real butterfly landed right on this embroidery hoop.

Blooming Butterflies
Blooming Butterflies by Doodle and Stitch Co.

Use a chain stitch to embroider flower outlines to go with the various butterflies on this hoop art.

The subtleness of the flowers really sets the details of the butterflies off.

Three Butterfly Embroidery Pattern

The details on these three are amazing. Put your embroidery skills to the test and try something new to make stunning designs like these.

Rainbow Butterfly

Or go more abstract with this rainbow butterfly pattern. It is still beautiful in a different style. 

Botanical Butterfly Pattern
Botanical Butterfly Pattern by Feronia Embroidery

Use flowers and leaves to make the wings, body, and antenna of the butterfly.  The orange is pretty but other colors would look great with the green too.

Floral Monarch Butterfly
Floral Monarch Butterfly by Odinaddi

One last pretty butterfly. I see this design two different ways. The flowers could be the other wing, or the butterfly could be perched on the flower with its wings closed.
