This is a stitch, or I guess a stitch combination, I invented. Well, I have tried Googling ‘butterfly embroidery stitch’ but no results look like these guys, so I guess I have invented it? :-) Use it to add cute little butterflies to embroidery with flowers or a meadow scene.

First make two lazy daisy stitches about a millimetre apart.
Next, bring the needle up halfway along the side of one lazy daisy stitch and push it down opposite under the other lazy daisy stitch, cinching the two together.
Finally, at the top of the butterfly, make two pistil stitches for the antennae.
