• Step 1

  The body -

  I started by crocheting a magic circle of about 4 single crochets

• Step 2

  I then continued, with 1 single crochet on each previous single crochet (1 full row)

• Step 3

  Following this I made 2 single crochets in each single crochet around.

• Step 4

  I then created a single crochet in each single crochet around (1 full row).
  As the wool was quite thick and fluffy, this was sufficient for the main body shape.

• Step 5

  Wings -

  to creat the wings, I created the following pattern twice...

  I started by chain stitching 4, then single crocheting 3 rows on the base of that.

• Step 6

  Following this I crocheted 2 single crochets together on the row and then crocheted together the next 2 single corchets (ending up with 2 sngle crochet overall on the next row)

• Step 7

  I then made a normal row, followed by crocheting the two final single crochets together. This created a triangle shape.

• Step 8

  I added all the parts together and sewed them into place. I used elastic with beads threaded on for the antennas and knotted them on the underside of the ladybird to keep them in place.

• Step 9

  Finally, I sewed on beads for the ladybird spots, and for the eyes.
  To make it into a clip, I simply attached a clip on the underside of the ladybird (picture shows ladybird prior to clip attatchment)
