The document provides instructions for making a ladybug keychain out of crochet thread including the materials needed and the steps to create the body and assemble the finished project.

The materials needed are crochet thread in black, red and white, a small amount of black felt, stuffing material, a keychain ring and lobster clasp with cord, and pins and glue for assembling.

The steps to make the ladybug body include starting with a magic ring and increasing stitches over the first few rounds until 24 stitches are reached, then maintaining that number of stitches for a few rounds before decreasing back down to 6 stitches, stuffing as you go.

Assembling
- Using pins, put the head on the body of the ladybug and sew it firmly.
- Before cutting the thread, use it to embroider the black line on the ladybug body.
- Cut 7 rounded pieces of black felt and glue it on the ladybug body, one near the head, 3
on the black line’s right and 3 on the black line’s left.
- Embroider 2 little eyes with white yarn, using your favourite technique. I used the french
knot technique.
- With pliers, open the little ring and put it through the first round of the body. Join the
lobster hook with black cord and complete your keychain.
