Ava the Ladybird: 7-spot


£21.00
With the help of Ava the Ladybird the 2022 Summer Competition was a celebration of all of our happiest places around the globe.

Ladybirds radiate happiness! These small insects are symbols of good fortune, joy and rebirth, with more appearing in our gardens and homes as the weather warms. We invite you to share your happy places, whether that be your favourite corner of the sofa to crochet on, your book shelf, a holiday, or spot in your garden. Although the 7-spot ladybird is the most common in the UK, we’ve designed nine different types of ladybird, playing with colour and spot formation, using three different sized spot patterns, so you can too. Your mix and match .pdf pattern gives you everything you need to create whichever type of ladybird makes you happy!

Snap a photo of your Ava the Ladybird in your happy place and share it with us on Instagram (@toft_uk) or Facebook (TOFT) using the hashtag edshappyplaces.

THIS KIT CONTAINS: 75g of TOFT's luxury DK pure wool - 25g Black, 25g Cream and 25g in a contrast colour of your choice - and a set of Black safety eyes.
