Grumpy Ladybug crochet pattern

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

• Safety eyes with a printed glint 14 mm (on the body): in round 20, 7 st apart (count along round 20: about 3.7 st each side of the centre front line).
• Embroidery in black thread (on the body), straight stitches through: (in round 30, on the centre back line ) → (in round 26, on the centre back line) → (in round 20, on the centre back line) → (in round 14, on the centre back line) → (in round 8, on the centre back line).
• Embroidery in black thread (on the body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 21 and 22, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 22, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 22 and 23, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
