This cute little ladybug crochets up in a heartbeat and is very easy to make! It can be used either as an embellishment, or as a toy on its own to impress your friends. Try to make several of them right away. Materials and tools:
Embroidery floss in color Red, separated into individual strands. (I use Gamma or DMC brand cotton embroidery floss). Can be crocheted from thin sewing thread. The thinner the thread, the smaller the toy will turn out, and vice versa.
Embroidery floss in color Black or black sewing thread.
Remnant of white sewing thread for embroidering eyes (about 20 cm [8 in]).
Crochet hook 0.5 mm [US Steel Crochet Hook Size 18]
Glue gel, “Moment” brand super glue
Thin beading needle, diameter 0.45 mm [0.02 in]
Sharp nail scissors, round-nose pliers.
Stuffing (polyester fiberfil)
A toothpick or broken felting needle – used to insert stuffing.
