Use 5 sts for each eye and 1 st for the eyelashes.
Embroider the mouth on rnd 25, centered between the eyes.
Insert a piece of dark lilac yarn into a tapestry needle, apply silicone glue to the yarn so it seeps into the fibers, and insert it into st between rnds 37 and 38, exiting 2 sts apart.
Cut to the desired length, tie a small knot at each end, and let the glue dry.

NOTES
I used 100% cotton yarn, a 2.0 mm hook, and my butterfly turned out about 11 cm tall.
The piece is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.
Use a stitch marker to keep track of the last stitch of each round.
Stuff firmly as you go.
Finish parts with an invisible finish (false sc) for a neat look.
