The finished bug measures approximately 3 ins [7.5 cm] high x 3 ins [7.5 cm] wide, not counting the legs and antennae. Because this is an overview rather than a full pattern, the construction details live with the original instructions. Find the complete directions through the Original designer’s pattern and instructions, which gives you the designer’s own wording, materials list and stitch order.
The source also lists supplies, though it does not name a hook size or notions, so treat this as a guide and check the original link for exact tools:
- Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn, shown in Red and Rose Pink
- Additional hooks, needles or finishing tools as specified in the original designer instructions
To help the finished cotton age well, the source gives these care directions: wash colors separately because some shades may run, and wash in water not exceeding 86 F / 30 C on a delicate setting. Do not bleach, and tumble dry at low heat on a delicate setting. Do not iron or press. For best results with multicolored large projects, the source recommends dry cleaning.
