By: Emi Harrington Using an adorable free crochet pattern you can make a Spring Ladybug. This can be a cute decoration during the spring months or you can use it as a gift topper. Need a spring embellishment? This ladybug is just the project!

Spring Ladybug

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn, red and black

Size 5mm crochet hook Yarn needle

Instructions:

Make the body: With red yarn, chain 5, slip stitch to join and form a ring. Chain 1. In the ring, make 10 single crochet, slip stitch to join. (Carry the yarn end along the outside of the ring, so you can close up the hole at the end.) Single crochet in each stitch around. Repeat step 3 for one more row, and fasten off.

Pull the yarn end from the beginning into the inside of the bobble. Pull tightly to close up the hole in the center.

Tie the 2 yarn ends into a square knot. Thread one of the yarn ends into a yarn needle, and weave around the opening. Tuck the other yarn end into the bobble. Pull tightly to close up the bobble, and fasten off.



Make the head: Chain 5, slip stitch to join and form a ring.

Chain 1, make 8 single crochet in the ring. Slip stitch to join. Make one more row of single crochet in each stitch around, fasten off with a long yarn end of approximately 18 inches.

Thread the long yarn end into a yarn needle.

Sew the head onto the body.

Bring the black yarn end to the front of the ladybug, coming out in the center position of the neck. Place the yarn down the center of the body, and take a stitch to secure at the bottom of the ladybug. Then take another stitch on the opposite side of the yarn, just to make sure it doesn’t move about.

Make the spots: Pass the yarn through the body, and come out on the side, at the bottom end of the ladybug. (Refer to the photo for placement of the spots.) Take 3 stitches, then move the needle through the body, and come out in the center side of the body. Take another 3 stitches. Repeat to make the 3rd spot, half way between

the center and the head. Pass the needle through the body and come out on the other side of the ladybug, and make 3 spots down that side as well. Pass the needle through the body to the opposite side, and cut off the yarn.

Antennae: Cut piper cleaner in half. Use one half for each antennae. Insert crochet hook (size G hooks works well) under a sc at either side of top of head, wrap about a half an inch end of the pipe cleaner around hook and pull through just far enough to release the pipe cleaner from hook. Secure pipe cleaner to top of head by twisting the half inch length around the bottom of the longer section. Shape antennae into desired shape.

st = stitch sc = single crochet 2tog = 2 stitches together ch1 = chain one sl st = slip stitch

Materials:

Crochet thread #10

1.50 mm hook (which gave me a 2 inch elephant).

I worked in continuous rounds. HEAD: *Remember if you use safety eyes to put them in before closing up the head. 1) magic circle with 6st (6) 2) 2sc in each st (12) 3) 1sc then 2sc in next st (18) 4) 3sc in first st, 1sc in next 8st, 3sc in next st, 1sc in last 8st (22) 5) 1sc in each st (22) 6) 2sc in first st, 1sc in next 10st, 2sc in next st, 1sc in last 10st (24) 7-10) 1sc in each st for 4 rows (24) 11) 1sc in next 2st then 2tog (18) 12)1sc then 2tog (12) *** stuff head using a stuffing stick, try to stuff to the sides of the head and shape head as you stuff 13) 2tog 6times (6) Finish off and hide thread tail inside the head



TRUNK: 1) magic circle with 5st (5) 2-9) 1sc in each st for 8 rows (5) 10) 2sc then 1sc in next st (8) 11) sl st into next st and finish off. Leave long tail for sewing. *** bring tail through and weave in and out along the length of the trunk then pull until you have the shape you want for the trunk. Knot off the end to hold shape. BASE for TRUNK: 1) magic circle with 7st 2) sl st into next st and finish off. This is optional. You can sew the trunk as is to the face but I made a little base for the end of the trunk which I sewed on the base of the trunk then sewed the entire thing to the face. I found it looked better with the base on it.

You can hold the trunk in place with a pin to get the first couple stitches in BODY: 1) magic circle with 6st (6) 2) 2sc in each st (12) 3) 1sc in next st, 2sc in next st (18) 4) 1sc in next 2st, 2sc in next st (24) 5-7) 1sc in each st for 3 rows (24) 8) 1sc in next 2st then 2tog (18) 9) 1sc in each st (18) 10) 1sc then 2tog (12) ***stuff body 11) 2tog 6 times , sl st into next st and finish off (6) leave long tail for sewing. Sew head and body together



LEGS: 1) Magic circle with 6 st (6) 2) 2sc in each st (12) 3) 1sc then 2sc in next st (18) 4-6) 1sc in each for 3 rows (18) 7) 2tog 4 times, 1sc in next 10st (14) 8) 2tog 5 times, 1sc in last 4st (9) *** stuff foot and shape foot as you stuff. No need to stuff legs 9-13) 1sc in each for 5 rows (9) sl st into next st and finish off. Leave long tail for sewing

ARMS: 1) magic circle with 6 st (6) 2) 2sc in each st (12) 3-4) 1sc in each st for 2 rows (12) 5) 2tog 3 times, 1sc in last 6st (9) 6) 2tog 3 times, 1sc in last 3st (6) ***stuff hand 7-11) 1sc in each st for 5 rows.

Sew to body just under the head EARS: 1) magic circle with 6st (6) 2) ch1 turn, 2sc in next 5st (10) 3) ch1 turn, 2sc in next 10st (20) 4) ch1 turn, 2sc in next 20st (40) 5) ch1 turn, 1sc in each st (40) finish off, leave long tail for sewing. I show how to do the ears in a video tutorial for a larger, different colored elephant. But I'll try to explain here. (If you still have troubles watch this video and fast forward to 5:15) Take the open ends of the ear (half circle) and point the ends away from the front side of the ear. Sew the edges of those ends together. Thread the tail of the yarn from the middle of the ear and out through the side and pull. This will shrink up the ear and give it



some shape. Continue to shape ear until you are happy with it. Sew edge piece that you just sewed together to the head. Use a long pin to hold it in place while you get a couple stitches in. See pictures below.

Now you can add in a mouth if you want. I used black embroidery thread for mine and went in through the back of the head and out through front, created the mouth and brought the thread back out through the same hole in the back of the head, knotted the ends off and hid the knot in the back of the head.
