How to work an easy butterfly pattern

In this DROPS video, we show how to work an easy butterfly pattern that repeats itself. Knit a butterfly over 7 stitches + stitches between each butterfly and 2 garter stitches in each side (garter stitches = knit on each side). We have cast on 29 stitches and worked 1 row with the main color (green) and 2 garter stitches on each side. We start the video by working like this: Right side: Work 2 garter stitches, * put the second color in front of the work / towards you, knit 7 stitches, put the second color behind the work / from you, knit 2 *, repeat * - * the entire row, turn. Wrong side: Work 2 garter stitches, * put the second color behind the work / from you, purl 7 stitches, put the second color in front of the work / towards you, purl 2 *, repeat * - * entire row, but work the last 2 stitches in garter st, turn. Repeat these two rows until you have 6 loose threads in front. Right side: Now work with the main color. Work 2 garter stitches, knit 3, * insert right needle under all 6 long threads (use thumb for help if needed), knit next stitch, do not lift stitch off left needle, but pull the stitch under the 6 long thread, put the stitch on the right needle, knit these two stitches twisted together, knit 8, repeat * - * 1 more time. Knit under all 6 long threads, knit the next stitch, do not lift the stitch off the left needle, put the stitch on the right needle, knit two stitches twisted together, knit 3, knit 2 garter stitches, turn and purl 1 row with 2 stitches in garter sts on each side. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in this video.

Dieses Muster war das erste, was ich gestrickt habe. Es ist jetzt 30 Jahre her und ich freue mich, es wieder bei ihnen entdeckt zu haben. Durch ihre Seite, habe ich Stricken neu gelernt und viele Freunde und Bekannte bewundern meine Sachen. Machen sie weiter so und vielen vielen Dank.
