About Tootsie the Butterfly
This is the one we reach for when the request is baby toy pattern. Tootsie the Butterfly keeps it simple, which is why it sits here rather than in the reserve pile. 92 saves mean nobody has tested it for you. We still think it holds up. Nobody has reviewed it, which we do not hold against a new file — but it does mean the preview is the only honest evidence. hira.ammad is the name on the listing.
Our own plan for it is butterfly, because that is where this kind of pattern does the least arguing with you. Check the yarn weight and hook size against what is in your basket before you start — an amigurumi worked in the wrong weight comes out the wrong size and the stuffing shows through. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
The listing files it under butterfly amigurumi, butterfly pattern, crochet pattern and crochet plushie — those are the words it gets found by, and between them they describe the file better than any category name does. On this site it lives on the Amigurumi and Toy Patterns shelf, so it also turns up for people browsing amigurumi and toy patterns rather than searching for it by name. What this shelf gets asked for is crochet stuffed animals, teddy bear nursery theme, vintage teddy bear nursery, doll handmade and handmade doll house. That list is why these files are here and not some prettier ones. The same shelf also answers to doll, stuffed, animal, bear and bunny, so widen the search there before giving up on it.

How to use this pattern
- Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and check the yardage and hook size before you shop — a small gift rarely needs a full skein.
- Work the gauge swatch anyway on anything that has to fit, like a hat or a bracelet; on a stuffed toy you can skip it.
- Stuff toys firmer than feels right and close the seam with a ladder stitch — a gift gets squeezed, and loose stuffing shows within a week.
- Make the first one a week before you need it. The second one is always the one you give away.
