Crochet Ladybug Keychain Pattern

• Red & Black worsted weight yarn
• G crochet hook
• Clear glue
• Yarn needle

With red, Ch 2.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Antennas:

Cut 2 pieces of black yarn to the length you want the antennas to be. Use clear glue to form them into an antenna shape; let dry to harden. Then, glue them onto the ladybug.

Spots:

With black yarn, tie a knot. Bring both ends of the knot through to the back of the ladybug, so the knot is on the right side. Tie the two ends in the back, then weave in.

To attach a hanger, you can either use a metal keychain like I did (which makes it multipurpose! Use it as a keychain or an ornament). Or, refer to the video below to attach a yarn hanger.

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed this cute, flat ladybug crochet pattern. It can work either as a keychain or an ornament (or both!) If you did love this pattern, make sure to check out some other ones I have:
