Mirror the other side of the butterfly.
Note: This version I notice that the body has a big space, so I tried to fill it with another ring. After making the chain after the TOCL, make a ring of 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 + (to the base of the big ring) 3 - 3 - 3 - 3. Then continue making the other big ring and keep working the pattern in the same way.
