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)

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
