This delightful little ladybug purse can be made in two sizes (small: approximately 11 cm length x 8 cm width; large: approximately 18 cm length x 15 cm width) - perfect for ‘mommy and me’ (or ‘teacher and me’; I designed and made these for my daughter and her teacher, as they are in the ladybug class at school).

The written crochet pattern (in US terms) calls for a 4.00 mm crochet hook, and DK yarn in red and black. Additional materials required are:

• darning needle
• large press stud
• googly eyes
• craft glue
