Since ancient times, it has been the custom that in central Russia, of all the beetles, only May beetles and ladybug. The first ones appear in public in May, which is why they are named after this spring month. But why the latter were given such a binding name, no one knows. Most likely, this is due to 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 to simply apply black circles on the red 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 for a sofa in the shape of a ladybug, you will need 300 g of black yarn, 200 g of red yarn, a zipper, eyes, a needle and thread and a hook.
- Crochet a rope of 5 loops, close it into a ring and tie it with single crochets into a flat, even circle with a diameter equal to the length of the zipper. This will be the belly of our beetle.
- The back, knitted not in the round, but like a regular fabric back and forth, consists of two halves. They should be 1 cm larger in size than the bottom of the pillow.
- Tie the side to which the zipper will be sewn with two rows of black thread.
- Sew a zipper onto the knitting.
- Make a head for the beetle. The knitted turtle head resembles a small black hat and is knitted in the same way.
- We make spots, 6 black small circles.
- We knit 6 more small hats that will become the ladybug's paws.
- Sew the spots to the red wings with black thread.
- Sew the legs and head to the bottom of the pillow.
- Fill them with padding polyester and sew all the parts together.
- Pass a thread 80 cm long through your head and tie two chains from it. Fold them over and you will get little black antennae.
- Glue on the eyes.
- Fill the pillow with something soft and close the zipper.
- The thought pillow is ready. By the way, it can be a great place to store stashes and secrets.
- A small ladybug is crocheted in the same way as a pillow, only without the legs.
- Having crocheted a flat black bottom with the thinnest hook, you need to continue knitting with a red thread, placing a circle cut out of cardboard or plastic inside.
- Knit in the round, gradually decreasing the diameter. Place some foam inside before closing the top.
- Embroider the knitting, decorating the back of the ladybug with black stripes 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 proceeds in a circle. We need to knit a little red riding hood and make ties for it. Then separately knit the black muzzle of the beetle, two white and two black circles for the eyes and four black spots-circles. All this needs to be sewn to the hat. Then you should knit 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.
A crocheted ladybug is a very cute and creative product that you can use to please your family, children or friends. This wonderful craft can be used as a toy for a child, as a pillow, or simply as a souvenir. This handmade ladybug can be an excellent gift for your favorite people. After all, these are the most useful and good insects that will not leave anyone indifferent. This master class on crocheting ladybugs will help even novice needlewomen learn how to knit such a miracle and delight themselves and their loved ones.
Homemade pincushion
This cute pincushion is knitted using the single crochet technique.
Necessary materials for work:
- red, black and white threads for knitting;
- hook (must be the same thickness as the thread);
- stuffing material (sintepon, cotton wool);
- a piece of cardboard.
The ladybug belly knitting pattern is very easy. This part of the product is knitted with black threads. First, you need to close a chain of four air loops into a ring using connecting posts. Then you need to start working on knitting the head also with black threads. To do this, knit 8 single crochets under the chain loops in the first row. In the second row, make 16 single crochets. In the third and fourth rows there are 32 single crochets. In the fifth and sixth rows, knit 48 single crochets. The seventh and eighth rows include 72 single crochets.
Knit the back in the same pattern as the head, but with a different number of stitches. In the first row - 4 single crochets under the loops of the chain. The second row is knitted with 10 single crochets. The third row consists of 15 single crochets. The fourth row is 20 single crochets. Fifth, sixth and seventh - 25 single crochets.
The next stage is assembling all the parts of the cow. Cut a circle out of cardboard, the diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the body. Place this part on the knitted belly, and on top of the back and sew around the circumference. Don’t forget to stuff the pad with padding polyester. Knit ladybug legs (6 pieces in total) from air loops. Using black thread, embroider a stripe in the center of the back using a chain stitch. The head is also stuffed with cotton wool and sewn to the body. Eyes made of white thread and six black dots on the back are knitted like this: close a chain of five chain stitches into a ring using a connecting stitch and knit 15 double crochets under the loops of the chain. The black pupils on the eyes are embroidered using a knotted stitch. The pincushion is ready!
Knitted keychain
You can make a ladybug keychain in the same way.
For this craft you will also need black and white beads for eyes and dots, a needle with black thread and a base for a keychain.
At the beginning of work, you need to tie the top with a red thread along amigurumi pattern. Amigurumi is japanese art knitting soft animals. The knitting pattern and description looks like this:
Knit in a spiral, without joining at the top. Then knit the bottom, just like the top, with black thread from the first to the sixth row. Next, tie the belly and back together. Before finally connecting them, stuff the ladybug with padding polyester.
Then knit a dividing strip of air loops in the amount of 18 pieces. Do not cut off the remaining thread; the sewn head will cover the joint. Knit a ladybug's head. Sew it to the belly with stitches. Sew beads as eyes and dots. At the end, thread the ring from the keychain. The Ladybug keychain is ready!
Bright potholder
For such a fun and positive craft, you need red and black yarn, a hook, thread, needle, glue and plastic eyes.
To get started, you need to start by knitting three air loops and closing them with a ring. In the same ring, knit 6 single crochets. At the end of the row, make a connecting post. The next row is 12 single crochets. Add six single crochets to each subsequent row. Tie the circle to the desired diameter. Then take a needle, insert it into the black yarn and sew a separate strip on the back with a “back needle” stitch.
Knit the head with black yarn in 8 single crochets, turn the craft over and knit the same number of single crochets. Tie the resulting blanks with black yarn. At the end of the row, make 10-15 air loops. Then knit black circles (spots on the wings). Sew six circles onto the back. Don't forget about gluing the sun's eyes.

Below we offer a short description of how to combine already connected parts into a ladybug craft.
Cut out a circle from cardboard with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the abdomen. We adjust this part onto the knitted belly, and on top of the back, and sew around the circumference. Don't forget to stuff the pad with padding polyester or cotton wool. BC legs (3 pcs. on each side) are tied from air loops. Using black thread, we embroider a stripe in the center of the back using 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 are knitted like this: a chain of 5 sts. The item is closed into a ring using the connection. Art. and connects 15 tbsp. s/n under the loops of the chain. The pupils of the eyes are embroidered using a knotted stitch.
You can create a ladybug keychain in the same style. To do this, you also need black and white beads for dots and eyes, a needle with black thread and a base for the keychain.

Knitting sequence BC:
- Knit in a spiral, without joints at the top.
- Next, knit the bottom, exactly the same as the top, with black thread from rows 1 to 6.
- Tie the belly and back together. Before finally connecting them, fill the BC with padding polyester.
- After this, knit a dividing strip from VP (18 pcs.). Do not cut off the remaining thread: sew on the head and cover the joint with it.
- We knit the head of a ladybug. Next, sew the head with stitches along the edge.
- We sew beads of the corresponding color as eyes and dots.

Here is a master class on easy production positive and bright potholder in the shape 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 them into a ring. In the same ring we knit 6 sc. At the end of the row there is a connecting column. The next row is already 12 RLS. To each subsequent row we add 6 sc. Thus, we knit the 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 needle” seam.
- Head: knit 8 sc with black yarn, turn the craft over and knit the same number of sc.
- Tie the resulting workpiece with black yarn. At the end of the row, make 10-15 ins. P.

There are different types of cows:
Orange - yellow, red,
Like buttons, speckled with black,
On the grass, like red droplets.
And I am that little cow of God
On a summer day, the weather is good,
I'll gently take it in my palm,
To make a runway.
And Ladybug will understand
It will fly away from my palm.
Ladybug, black head, Red shirt, Dear Ivashka.
There are black lines on the edge of the shirt.
There are dots on the shirt - Droplets from the night.
Ivashka has children, sleeping on a branch nearby.
Their paws are tenacious, Each one is wearing a black cap.
They will wake up in the morning and smile sweetly.
They will fly to the flowers to collect the dew from the leaves.
They will eat and drink, and then lick their lips.
On the swamp hummocks they drink the dew in a sip. This is how Willows live - Red shirts, Black heads, Ladybugs!
