Crochet a Girl's Ladybug Cuff Bracelet

This cute bracelet would make the perfect gift for any girl -- toddler to 'tween and beyond. The ladybug is removable and makes a cute carry-along playmate or make the ladybug alone and use it as a back pack decoration. The possibilities are endless!

Note: The ladybug cuff bracelet pattern is my original design. To see more of my work or get copies of other patterns I've written, please visit my blog or Ravelry Pattern Shop. I also sell finished amigurumi in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for checking out my instructable and happy crocheting!

P.S. You're welcome to use this pattern as you wish -- for love or for money. But, please respect my work and do not claim this pattern as your own. And, if you have the means to do so, give me a little shout out when you use it. Thank you!

Step 1: Getting Started

To make my ladybug cuff bracelet, I used the following materials:

• Worsted weight acrylic yarn in red and black
• Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook
• Two buttons (one shirt button-sized and one about the size of a dime)
• Hand quilting thread
• Tapestry needle
• Sewing needle
• Stitch marker
• Scissors

All of the items were purchased at Jo-Ann Stores, but you can find them at almost any craft store. By the way, you can use any colors of yarn you like for this project, so have fun with it!

Note: These instructions assume that you know the following crochet stitches:

• Chain
• Slip Stitch
• Single Crochet
• Single Crochet Decrease
