Here is the completed Ladybug set, the booties and nappy cover were made using existing patterns but they had to be altered so I could use 4ply yarn so they would be soft enough for a newborn, and so each item would be nice and matching.
I just think this set is simply adorable.
My future niece is going to look super cute as a ladybug only 4 months to go.
I have plenty of time to make her lots of other super cute things and maybe a few useful ones as well.
This little sweetie is of my own design
This ladybug is just too cute.
Beanie was made using Patrons – Big Baby 4ply
So it is thin and soft, the black edging is some sort of cotton but I’m not sure what.
Her face and spots (which took the longest time to sew on) are made of felt and are simply sewn on.
This hat is newborn size-ish
I have another beanie made up in a larger size waiting in my sewing pile.
This beanie I made for my partner – Slade, it’s not quite his style, but I did manage to get a friend of mine to model it for me.
This beanie was difficult in comparison to what I’ve done in the past, as in you are working with two active loops for most of the hat, but it comes out looking very affective/attractive.
To make this beanie the correct size I had to increase by 12 chains/stitches as my partner has a very large head.
I used the prescribed hooks.
The colourful yarn used is Mode Vera – Bouvardia 70% acrylic, 30% wool.
The grey yarn used has no brand or name but it is 100% acrylic, I got it in a value pack and it had no distinct branding.
