Winding a Butterfly

• To start winding the butterfly, place the end of the yarn between your index and first finger.
  
• Wrap the yarn around your thumb, forming a loop.

• Then wrap the yarn around your little finger, and back around your thumb, forming a figure 8.
  
• Continue back and forth, wrapping the yarn between your thumb and your little finger, forming figure 8's.
  
• This forms a "cross" in the middle of the 2 loops of yarn that are around your thumb and little fingers.
  
• When you have wound sufficient yarn,
  
• (usually 10 - 15 revolutions)
  
• break the end of the yarn.
• Then wrap the end of the yarn around the center of the 2 loops (at the cross) a few times.
  
• At the last wrap, slip the end of the yarn through this loop and pull the end until it is snug.
