Repeat rows 69-88 five more times, placing butterflies wherever you would like them (see note below), or until blanket is approximately as long as you would like it.
Repeat rows 69 thru 80 once more.
For top border, Work rows 1-7 same as beginning border. Bind off in pattern.
To Place Butterflies:
The butterfly motif is worked over 10 sts and 8 rows. Wherever you would like to place a butterfly, place a stitch marker where you would like to start it, work the first row of the Butterfly pattern, and place another marker at the end of those 10 sts. Continue to work the butterfly motif rows between those markers. (In the sample blanket, the first butterfly was placed at about 23 inches from the bottom of the blanket.)
Butterfly Motif(over 10 sts):
Row 1 (right side): k2, LT, k2, RT, k2.
Rows 2 and 4: purl.
Row 3: k2, k2 tog, yo, RT, yo, ssk, k2.
Row 5: k3 tog, yo twice, k1, RT, k1, yo twice, sl 1-k2 tog – psso.
Row 6: p1, (k1, p1) in double yo, p4, (k1, p1) in double yo, p1.

Repeat rows 69-88 five more times, placing butterflies wherever you would like them (see note below), or until blanket is approximately as long as you would like it.
Repeat rows 69 thru 80 once more.
For top border, Work rows 1-7 same as beginning border. Bind off in pattern.
To Place Butterflies:
The butterfly motif is worked over 10 sts and 8 rows. Wherever you would like to place a butterfly, place a stitch marker where you would like to start it, work the first row of the Butterfly pattern, and place another marker at the end of those 10 sts. Continue to work the butterfly motif rows between those markers. (In the sample blanket, the first butterfly was placed at about 23 inches from the bottom of the blanket.)
Butterfly Motif(over 10 sts):
Row 1 (right side): k2, LT, k2, RT, k2.
Rows 2 and 4: purl.
Row 3: k2, k2 tog, yo, RT, yo, ssk, k2.
Row 5: k3 tog, yo twice, k1, RT, k1, yo twice, sl 1-k2 tog – psso.
Row 6: p1, (k1, p1) in double yo, p4, (k1, p1) in double yo, p1.
Row 7: k3, place next stitch on cable needle and hold in back, (k1, p1, k1) all in next st, wrap yarn as if to knit, and pass 3 newly made sts over the wrap, k1 from cable needle, slip next st to cable needle and hold in front, k1, place st from cable needle back on left hand needle, (k1, p1, k1) all in next st, wrap yarn as if to knit, and pass 3 newly made sts over the wrap, k3.
Row 8: purl.
