February 12: love bug, crocheted
Today’s toy is another love bug, but this time I crocheted the back and made it smaller, more like a ladybug. The knitted one looked like a red and black turtle 🤣 I still used the red yarn with sparkle, the white cotton and the Big Twist black yarn and a 3 mm hook. The back was smaller, so I stitched the heart on the back and didn’t use a chain. With both love bugs, I just slipped stitches from the center out to do the legs and head instead of cutting the yarn and reattaching.. The yarn is black and not noticeable. Check out the knitted one on the February 11th post (https://craftingintx.com/2024/02/february-11-knitted-love-bug/)
