Learning to crochet a ladybug quickly and easily

In order to tie a ladybug, you need absolutely not much. This:

• Remains of red, black and white thread for knitting
• Hook suitable for the thickness of the thread
• Stuffing material (cotton, synthetic winterizer).

As mentioned above, you can knit anything in the style of a ladybug, it all depends on your desire. You will find a master class on bringing some of these ideas to life in this article.

If you want to make a needle bed-sun, then you need to knit according to the “columns b / n” technique. For this craft, you still need a piece of cardboard.

The belly of a ladybug is knitted with a black thread like this: a chain of 4 c. p. closes in a ring with the help of a connection. Art.

• And here is the knitting pattern for the head (with black thread).
• 8 pillar. b / n under the loops of the chain (in the 1st row).
  16 column. b / n in the columns of the bottom row. (in the 2nd row)
  32 pillar. b / n (in the 3rd p.).
  32 pillar. b / n (in the 4th p.).
  48 pillar. b / n (in the 5th p.).
  48 pillar. b / n (in the 6th p.).
  72 pillar. b / n (in the 7th p.).
  72 pillar. b / n (in the 8th p.).
• The back is knitted in the same pattern.
• 4 pillar. b / n under the loops of the chain (in the 1st row).
  10 pillar. b / n in the columns of the bottom row (in the 2nd row).
  15 column. b / n (in the 3rd p.).

  25 column. b / n (in the 5th p.).
  25 column. b / n (in the 6th p.).
  25 column. b / n (in the 7th p.).

Below we offer a short description of how to combine already connected parts into a ladybug craft.

We cut out a circle from cardboard, with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the abdomen. We adjust this detail on the connected abdomen, and on top - the back, and sew around the circumference. Do not forget to fill the pillow with synthetic winterizer or cotton wool. Paws BK (3 pieces on each side) are imposed from air loops. With a black thread in the center of the back we embroider a strip with a chain stitch. We also stuff the head with cotton wool and sew it to the body. Eyes made of white thread and 6 black dots on the back fit like this: a chain of 5 c. p. closes in a ring with the help of a conn. Art. and links 15 tbsp. s / n under the chain loops. The pupils of the eyes are embroidered with a nodular suture.

In the same style, you can create a keychain ladybug. To do this, you need more black and white beads for dots and eyes, a needle with black thread and a base for a keychain.

First you need to tie the top with a red, or other color, thread along amigurumi pattern (japanese art knitting soft animals). Below is a pattern for knitting a ladybug in this technique.

Knitting sequence BC:

1. Knit in a spiral, without joining the top.
2. Next, knit the bottom, in the same way as the top, with a black thread from rows 1 to 6.
3. Tie the belly and back together. Before finally connecting them, stuff the BC with synthetic winterizer.
4. After that, knit a dividing strip of VP (18 pcs.). Do not cut off the remaining thread: sew on the head and close the junction with it.
5. We knit the head of a ladybug. Next, sew the head with stitches along the edge.
6. Sew beads of the corresponding color as an eyelet and dots.
7. And finally - we thread a keychain ring or glue a magnet if you want the sun to sit on your refrigerator.

Here is a master class for you simple manufacturing positive and bright potholders in the form of a ladybug. For this craft, we need to have red and black yarn, a hook, thread, needle, glue and plastic eyes.

• We knit 3 air loops and close in a ring. In the same ring we knit 6 sc. At the end of the row is a connecting post. The next row is already 12 sc. For each subsequent row, add 6 sc. Thus, we knit a circle to the diameter you need.
• We take a needle, insert black yarn into it and sew a dividing strip on the back with a “back to the needle” seam.
• Head: we knit 8 sc with black yarn, turn the craft over and knit the same amount of sc.
• Tie the resulting blank with black yarn. At the end of the row, work 10-15 in. P.
• Tie black circles (specks on the wings of the BC).
• Sew 6 circles on the back.
• Do not forget this point: glue the eyes of the sun, and this is what you get in the end.

As you can see, ladybug crochet can be crocheted not only beautiful toy, a comfortable pillow, a keychain, but also more useful gizmos: a kitchen potholder and even baby suit and a hat. The last idea will make your child not only happy, but also give him comfort and warmth. Get inspired, create and delight others with your creativity and needlework.

Lesson progress.

I really liked knitting such ladybugs: firstly, because the process takes very little time, and secondly, because it good way disposal of leftover yarn.

But the main thing is that, despite their simplicity, ladybugs cause a lot of positive emotions when you look at them or hold them in your hands. They are soft, very pleasant to the touch, fit well in the palm of your hand. Reminisce about your carefree childhood.

DIY ladybugs are great, safe toys for kids (not like Chinese ones).

Such toys can be used for activities with children. For example, learn colors with their help or learn to count.

Arrange them in a row and get a train. Also, in the hands of children, ladybugs can crawl along paths, crawl from object to object along bridges, etc.

You can expand the "field of application" of ladybugs like a magnet - by gluing a magnet to them, you can use it as a needle bed. Now it is a decoration of the refrigerator, and a wonderful gift, and a more user-friendly learning material for kids.

Since ancient times, it has been customary that in central Russia, of all beetles, only May and ladybugs are loved. The first ones appear to the public in May, which is why they are named after this spring month. But why the second was given such a binding name, no one knows. Most likely, this is to blame for their interesting appearance, which to this day is played out in the design of many interiors, objects and materials.

It is recognizable to such an extent that it is enough just to put black circles on the kumach fabric, as anyone and everyone will say that these are ladybug motifs. Let's try to make something useful in everyday life in the form of a favorite insect.

In order to knit a pillow on a sofa in the form of a ladybug, you will need 300 g of black yarn, 200 g of red, a zipper, eyes, a needle and thread and a hook.

1. Crochet a tourniquet of 5 loops, lock it into a ring and tie a flat, even circle with a diameter equal to the length of the “zipper” with single crochets. This will be the belly of our beetle.
2. The back, knitted not in a circle, but like a regular fabric back and forth, consists of two halves. They should be 1 cm larger than Bottom part pillows.
3. The side to which the “lightning” will be sewn, tie with two rows of black thread.
4. Sew a zipper on the knitting.
5. Make a beetle head. The knitted head of the turtle resembles a little black hat and is also knitted.
6. We make spots, 6 black small circles.
7. We knit 6 more small hats that will become the paws of the ladybug.
8. Sew the spots to the red wings with black thread.
9. Sew the legs and head to the bottom of the pillow.
10. Fill them with padding polyester and sew all the parts.
11. Pass a thread 80 cm long through the head and tie two chains from it. Tucking them up, get a small black antennae.
12. Glue on the eyes.
13. Fill the pillow with something soft and close the zipper.
14. The pillow is ready. By the way, it can be a great place to store stash and secrets.

• A small crochet ladybug is crocheted in the same way as a pillow, only without paws.

• Having connected the flat black bottom with the thinnest hook, you need to continue knitting with a red thread, putting a circle cut out of cardboard or plastic inside.

• Knit in a circle, gradually reducing the diameter. Before you close the top, put some foam inside.

• Embroider knitting by decorating the back of the ladybug with a black stripe and spots with your own hands. Tie the head, decorating it with eyes and antennae.

Knitting starts from the top of the product and then is carried out in a circle. It is necessary to knit a red hat and make strings for it. Then separately knit a black muzzle of a beetle, two white and two black circles for the eyes and four black spots-circles. All this must be sewn to the hat. Then you should tie one long and two short black chains with your own hands. These will be antennae and a strip between the wings, which also need to be sewn to the hat.
