Ladybugg’s

It’s been quite some time since I have come to this site as I had totally forgotten I even had this website and I came upon it quite by accident. Anyways, a lot has happened since the beginning of the site. My Mom died, her passing was totally unexpected. I taught my daughter to drive and in about 2 months she got her drivers license. She has been on the run since. A little taste of freedom goes a long ways I guess. She still hasn’t signed up for housing which once you finally get on the list it takes about a year before you actually get the housing. Nick is still the same. Still working at the same place, still complaining about it, still complaining about just about everything and nothing is ever his fault. He expects everyone to march to his tune instead of the other way around.

We now have someone living with us. It just happened. God allowed a certain situation to happen which enabled her to move in with us. Both her and a dog. Fortunately our dogs get along, we have 4.

We also now have 2 kittens. It’s funny how we got them. Our friend was dumpster diving and found the mother cat tied to a carrier and her 7 kittens in a compacter dumpster. 2 of the kittens had already been crushed. And so we ended up with a mother cat and 5 kittens. We re-homed 3 of the kittens and kept 2. Surprisingly that was my husbands idea. The dogs are slowly getting used to the cats and life seems to be on an even kiel for now.

Baklava sales are starting to pick up, & fudge is just starting to ramp up. Honest to God I barely had my website advertising fudge when I had a bite in about 8 hours. What a surprise and a nice one at that.

Well that’s it for now, the dogs want out so I’ll close this note. See you later gaters…….

Ladybug Crochet Pattern:
 
Head and Body :
With the black yarn and the 3.5 mm hook
Work in rounds, do not turn unless specified. If needed, use a stitch marker for the first stitch of each round.
Round 1: start 6 sc in a magic ring (6)
Round 2: inc 6 times (12)
Round 3: [sc in next st, inc in next st] x6 (18)
Round 4: [sc in next 2 st, inc in next st] x6 (24)
Rounds 5 to 8: sc in all st (24)
Round 9: [sc in next 2 st, dec in next st] x6 (18)
Place safety eyes between Rounds 5 and 6, spaced by 2 st. You can use either 6 or 7 mm bicolor eyes or 4.5 mm black eyes placed above a circle of 6/7 mm of white felt sheet. If you decide to go for the second option, proceed as follows: draw a circle of 6 or 7 mm on a white felt sheet, cut, make a hole in the middle with your tapestry needle, insert the safety eye on the bottom and place both on the head.
Round 10: [sc in next st, dec in next st] x6 (12)
Round 11: sc in all st (12)
Stuff the head with fiberfill and keep working to make the body.
Round 12: [sc in next st, inc in next st] x6 (18)
Rounds 13 to 15: sc in all st (18)
Round 16: [sc in next 2 st, inc in next st] x6 (24)

Round 19: [sc in next 2 st, dec in next st] x6 (18)
Round 20: [sc in next st, dec in next st] x6 (12)
Round 21: [dec in all] x6 (6)
Stuff the body with fiberfill, cut the yarn and close the body
Legs (make 6) :
With a 3 mm crochet and the black yarn.
Row 1: ch 6. (6)
Row 2:  sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in next 3 st, 4 sc in next st. Now working on the other side of the ch: sl st in next 4 st  (12)
Leave a long tail, cut the yarn. Once you have done the 6 legs, place and sew them on each side of the body (3 on each side).
Antenna (make 2) :
With a 3 mm crochet and the black yarn.
Row 1: ch 5. (5)
Row 2:  sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in next 2 st, 3 sc in next st. Now working on the other side of the chain: sl st in next 3 st  (9)
Leave a long tail, cut the yarn. Once you have done both, place and sew them on the top of the head between rounds 2 and 3.
  Wing (make 2) :
With a 3 mm crochet and the white yarn.
Row 1: ch 8. (8)
Row 2: sc in 2nd ch from hook (place stitch marker), sc in next 5, 4 hdc in next st. Now working on the other side of the chain: sc in next 6, sl st in first sc (the first sc with the stitch marker (17)
Leave a long tail, cut the yarn. Once you have done both, place and sew them on the back of the body just under the head (sew the top of the wings only).
Elytra (make 2) :
With a 3.5 mm crochet and the red yarn.
Work in rounds, do not turn unless specified. If needed, use a stitch marker for the first stitch of each round.
Round 1: start 6 sc in a magic ring (6)
Round 2: inc 6 times (12)
Round 3: [sc in next st, inc in next st] x6 (18)
Round 4 to 5: sc in all st (18)
Leave a long tail, cut the yarn.

Make the Elytra flat (see pictures). Take a double string of black yarn. Use your tapestry needle to make black spots on the Elytra (make them on one side only). Make two spots between rounds 2 and 3, 3 spots between rounds 3 and 4, and 2 spots between rounds 4 and 5. Once it is done, use your tapestry needle to close the elytra.  Make the spots on the second elytra. Be careful, make them on the right side! Place them onto the body to make sure to have the spots on the correct side (the first round of the elytra must be toward the outside – see pictures).

Once it is done, you can attach the elytra to the body, above the wings. If you want to be able to open and close them, sew them only by a little stitch through the top of the elytra (I also added a little stitch to join the top of both elytra together)

Eyebrows (facultative) :
You can decide to add eyebrows to give more facial expressions to your ladybug. I used a single string of white yarn with a tapestry needle and made two small eyebrows above the eyes

Congratulations, your crochet ladybug is done! If you made it, please be sure to tag @natalinacraft on social media with the hashtag #natalinacraft, I would love to see your work!

Once it is done, use your tapestry needle to close the elytra.  Make the spots on the second elytra. Be careful, make them on the right side! Place them onto the body to make sure to have the spots on the correct side (the first round of the elytra must be toward the outside – see pictures).
