Supplies Needed:

Yarn (color and weight unspecified, but likely a medium weight based on common crochet practices)
Crochet hook (size unspecified)

Crochet Pattern:

Body (Main Circle):

Start with a magic ring.
Chain 2, then work 14 double crochets into the ring.
Close the ring and slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 2 to join.

Second Round:

Chain 3.
Work 2 double crochets in every stitch around (14 increases total).
Slip stitch to top of the initial chain 3 to join.

Third Round:

Chain 3.

Alternating Pattern:

One double crochet in the first stitch, then an increase in the next. Repeat around.
Slip stitch to top of the initial chain 3 to join.

Subsequent Rounds:

Continue increasing in this manner (altering the number of single crochets between increases with each round) until your circle is large enough to cover the front of your torso.
Finish after 11 rounds (or more, depending on size needed), and weave in the ends.

Creating the line (Middle of the Ladybug's Body):

Attach black yarn at the beginning of a slightly visible line on your circle.
Chain 2 and slip stitch in that space.
Continue chaining 2 and slip stitching down the line.
Once in the middle (with nothing to attach the yarn), chain 4 and slip stitch.
Continue with the chain 2, slip stitch pattern until the end of the line.

Ladybug's Face:

Locate the "increase" line, insert the hook in the third stitch from it.
Chain 1, start pattern:
Single crochet, half double crochet until the middle, then double crochet.
Mirror the stitches on the other side (double crochet, half double, single).

Second Row:

Chain 1, turn work, skip the first stitch.
Start with single crochet and follow the same pattern with increases at the half double crochets.

Straps:

Attach yarn on the fifth "increase" on the side.
Start with a chain of 4, skip a stitch, double crochet in the next.
Chain 1, skip a stitch, double crochet in the next, following this pattern for the desired strap width, finish on an increase.
Chain 4 for the next row, repeat the pattern until you have two spaces left.
Start making the strap by chaining directly on top of the last stitch, then chain 1 and double crochet into the chain space.
Repeat for the opposite side to make the other strap.
