Add a touch of elegance to any room with Sir Fluttersworth, a Stringable butterfly whose sophisticated design brings a classic charm to the walls of a play room, reading nook, or perhaps a nursery...? With a pattern that is both intricate and calming to create, Sir Fluttersworth is the perfect project for a quiet afternoon. Let each wrap of the string be a step back to a more graceful time.
Backstory: Legend has it that Sir Fluttersworth was the companion of a poet in a hidden garden, inspiring verses with his gentle and dignified flight. His wings, a tapestry of bright reds and oranges, with hints of teal and mustard yellow, were said to hold the secrets of the garden's most beautiful flowers. Creating him is like weaving your own piece of that poetic magic.

Start Simple...
There’s really no wrong way to Stringable, but endless ways TO Stringable...
To get the hang of it start with something simple, like the star on the right, then let your imagination run wild!
A few tips & techniques
-
Up / Down pattern:
The basic Up/Down pattern. Simply thread up through one hole, down the next, and repeat. To double it up, just reverse it! Tip: Repeat patterns. For instance, in the above example, the Stringer always came up on the left of the first string, and down on the right.
-
Loop the edges:
A very simple technique, simply thread through a hole on the outer edge of your Stringable, loop around the edge, then thread through the next hole.
The top half in the photo above is a single loop, the bottom is a double loop.
-
Up / Down crossover:
For this one, run the string over multiple holes, then preform the Up/Down pattern while crossing over the first string.
The top is a single Up/Down, the bottom is a double Up/Down.
