Our ancestors worshiped in God's cow as a herald of the gods, descending from heaven and bring good luck to people. Whoever did not happen in childhood: a bug with a red back, to the palm, twinked up and asked for luck. They remembered these episodes, and the idea came to make a sofa pillow in the form of this insect. Whether such a ladybug will bring good luck, it is unknown (it depends more from us), but the comfort of the house will definitely add.
"Ladybug" is a master class on knitting a minimum level of complexity. You will need threads of red and black colors, lightning of black color, toy eyes. Hook pick up the yarn thickness.
Abdomen. Black yarn.
We recruit 5 air loops, we form a ring of them, and knit the columns without nakida a circle.
The diameter of the abroad circle must correspond to the length of the zipper (or a little less than it).
Back. Red yarn.
This item consists of two parts. Separately knit two semicircles.
We recruit 5 V.P., connect to the ring. Knitting the item will not circulate, but as a canvas (back and forth). Four loops of scored 5 V.P. Slip the 8th columns without Nakidov. We change the direction of work (turn over the part) in the opposite direction, we convex 13 st .b / n. We turn the cloth again by changing the direction of the hook movement. Ice the 16 st .b / n. Further by analogy. Do not forget to add in each row of the loop (in this paper it was + 4-5 st .b / n.).
It turned out two halves of the back. Moreover, their radius is 1 cm more than that of the lower circle. And their form is not the perfect half of the circle, but with a little bust. Plus, "Waves" are observed in places on the canvas. In this case, this is a project idea: for the future bulgeback of the beetle back.
Diameter line on both red items to penetrate two rows of columns without nakidov. In the work of the black thread.
Sein zipper.
Head. Black thread.
The part is knitting in order to get something similar to the cap.
5 air loops, 9 st .b / n, 16 st .b / n, 24 st .b / n, 34 st .c / n, 40 st .c / n, 42 st .b / n, + 8 rows 42 st .b / n.
Points on the wings of God's cows. Black thread.
Tie 6 circles with a diameter of 2.5-3 cm.
Send to the back sewing threads.
Paws. Black thread.
Tie 6 small caps: 5 V.P., 10 st .b / n, 20 st .c / n, 20 st .c / n, 20 st .c / n.
Two details, back and abdomen, fold together. In several places throughout the circumference, we make fixing stitches. It is necessary that the details are "drove".
Paves to arrange symmetrically on the right and left, 3 pcs from each sides.
Step stitches notify the paws to the main details.
Starting from the tail, moving counterclockwise, the "rachy step" we connect the two main details - the abdomen and the back. In the work of the black thread.
*** "Radiy step" - columns without a Nakid, conclusted from the extreme row loops. The hook at the same time passes through both layers (abdomen and back), so Two details are fastened.
*** Where the path is "blocking" the paws, knit the chain of air loops (to not cut off the thread once) a little more limb width. It will allow us to "jump over" to another edge to continue work. Then this chain can be disguised inside.
Head cap attached to the abdomen details. Its middle must coincide with lightning.
We connect the "rachy step". The result in the photo.
Over the second a half, we work in the same way.
Remove the pillow inside out. The places where the feet were notable, to penetrate the connecting "rachy step", but through 4 layers. Threads from residue stitches Delete at the end of this operation.
*** The chain of the air loops, which we left after connecting the upper and lower parts, tighten the abdomen before the operation start.
Return to the head. The same "rachy step", but with an inside, connect the remaining part of the cap with the back.
So that the head of the beetle acquired the volume, stuffing it with syntheps.
Measure 1 m black threads. Crochet drag through the insect muzzle. Align the ends.
It is for the mustache: knit the chain of air loops, ranging from the head of the beetle.
Ends of the chain drain in crocheted inside cap. Cracks are formed.
We glue the eyes borrowed from the old toy. Can be replaced with their buttons.
For packing a small pillow was bought (45 * 45 cm). You can use a synthetone, and also, as an option, an old children's jacket.
Snake button.
