Hello, I hope you are staying home and staying safe. I saw in page statistics that many of my crochet addict💖 friends kept checking the page and subscribed to blog while waiting for the pattern (great thanks to you 👍). Here I give you the "Ladybug On An Oak Leaf" crochet pattern. I am sorry that I couldn't post the pattern here because I had an issue with my notebook and just got it fixed. Enjoy.
(🙋I have some of my patterns (mandala, doily, purse, square) on sale, starting from $1, on my Etsy shop Berayla. If you would like to show your support here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Berayla I thank you in advance and I hope we will get through these hard times together )
