Butterfly Baby Crochet Pattern

Butterfly Baby Crochet Pattern

Newborn props are always fun to make, especially the adorable Butterfly Baby, because it is a creative way to add gorgeous items to a newborn photo-shoot without having to have large props.  Newborn crochet props are a creative way to create a themed photo-shoot on the small side, you can always add larger props to bring the newborn photo-shoot together.  The beauty of crochet is even with a small newborn prop, it can capture a theme.  Bonus you can use any colors and customize the look as well.
