First seen as part of TOFT's METAMORPHOSIS exhibition at the Knitting and Stitching Show in 2022, Oberon the Hairstreak Butterfly joins the menagerie and was inspired by the green hairstreak butterfly. You might encounter one of these butterflies across a variety of habitats in the UK including grassland, woodland, heathland and moorland, but the species is mostly associated with scrub and shrubs. This woolly version is much easier to spot than its tiny real life counterpart, and will make a bright and beautiful addition to your home.
This cute crochet project forms part of the ever-expanding 'Edward's Menagerie' collection of amigurumi crochet toys designed by Kerry Lord. This amigurumi crochet kit contains our luxurious pure wool DK yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern with video links for all the techniques.
THIS KIT CONTAINS: 100g of TOFT's luxury DK pure wool in the colours of your choice.
Shown here using:
