Ladybug Hat Crochet Pattern

Now Available!!!

Use the Basic Beanie Pattern posted here for all ages ranging from newborn to adult.  Then place the attachments accordingly.

Attachments:

Dots:

Make 6 (3 for each side)

Special notes: the 1 sc and ch 1 is the first dc of each round

Ch 4, join with sl st to first ch to form a ring,

Increases:

Row 1: work 1 sc into ring and ch 1 (this is the 1^st dc), work 9 dc into the ring, join with a sl st, into the ch 1, (10 dc)

Row 2: work 1 sc and ch 1 into same space as the join, work 1 dc in same space, work 2 dc’s in each dc around, join with a sl st, into the ch 1, (20 dc)

Finish off leaving a long tail to sew onto hat.

Wings:

Make a chain to attach for the wings.  The amount will depend on the size of hat.  Find a starting point in the middle of the hat toward the front.  Measure from that starting point down the middle and curve over to one side.  This is how long your chain shall be.

You will need to make a second smaller chain to make the second wing.  Attach it at the begging of the curve on the first wing.

Antennas:

Make 2

Ch 2, working in 1^st ch, 4 sc

*this will be worked in a continual round

1 sc in each st all the way around

This will form a tube and be a little difficult to work in because it is small.

Continue until it is the length you want.

Finish off leaving a tail to sew on to hat.

You can attach a pom pom on top.

Eyes:

Use the Dot pattern, just change your colors as shown.

Eyelashes:

Using your yarn needle sew three eyelashes on each eye.
