LadyBug Lovey Pattern

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn (#4) in Red, Black, and Aran (I used red heart super saver yarn)
• 3.5mm hook and 5mm hook
• Safety eyes
• Stuffing
• Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

mc – magic circle

st – stitch (sts – stitches)

ch – chain

sl st – slip stitch

sc – single crochet

sc inc – single crochet increase

invdec – invisible decrease

dc – double crochet

dc inc – double crochet

tr – treble crochet

Rnd – round

() – the total number of stitches at the end of each round

Notes:

• The head and arms are worked in continuous rounds (amigurumi style) and the blanket is worked in joined rounds (sl st and ch 3).
• The ch 3 at the beginning of the joined rounds count as a dc st.
• Use a stitch marker or scrap piece of yarn to mark the end or beginning of the continuous rounds.

Assembly:

Step 1: Place the hat on top of the head. I chose not to sew it because it’s such a snug fit but you can sew it if you’d like.

Step 2: Sew the head to the first row of the blanket (the center of the blanket).

Step 3: Sew the arms to the second row of the blanket. If you’d like to change the placement of the arms to where you desire you can.

Step 4: Pick up a stitch on top of the head in the center and pull the antenna through. If you’d like to secure the antenna better you can sew it after you do this step.
