Two quick patterns that belong together — a textured flower and a lucky little ladybug, both free, both fun.

Some crochet projects are just meant to find each other. A popcorn stitch flower in your favorite spring color. A tiny ladybug button sitting right in the center. Together they make a brooch, a hair clip, a gift topper, a bag embellishment, or just something beautiful to stitch on a sunny afternoon. Here are the two patterns you need.

1. Crochet Popcorn Flower With Ladybug Button

The quick one.

This is the flower that started it all. Designed by Amy Ramnarine of The Stitchin' Mommy, this popcorn flower is worked in three colors of worsted weight cotton yarn — a sunny yellow center, hot pink middle round, and hot orange outer petals — with a sweet ladybug button sewn right in the center to finish it off.

The pattern uses only the magic circle, chain, double crochet, and slip stitch — so it's genuinely accessible to beginners. A full photo tutorial walks you through every single step, including how to make the popcorn stitch itself, so there's no guesswork involved. Once you've made one, you'll want to make a dozen.

Sew it onto a tote bag, clip it to a headband, pin it as a brooch, or use it to dress up a plain hat. The ladybug button at the center is the detail that makes everyone stop and say “wait, did you make that?”

• Skill level: Easy
• Materials: Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in 3 colors (cotton recommended), size I hook, tapestry needle, ladybug button (optional)
• Works great as: Bag embellishment, brooch, headband clip, hat accent, gift topper
• Tip: Try Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn — it gives the popcorn stitches a beautifully crisp, defined shape that holds its structure perfectly.

2. Cute Ladybug Coasters The friend.

This sweet little ladybug by DivineDebris is worked in worsted weight cotton yarn in classic red and black — and it finishes at just the right size to sit like a button at the center of your popcorn flower. Make a set of six as coasters, sew one onto a bag, or use a single ladybug as the focal point of your flower brooch. Quick, fun, and endlessly customizable — try it in blue for a bluebell ladybug, or yellow for a sunny twist.

• Skill level: Beginner
• Works great as: Flower center button, coaster, bag patch, gift topper
• Tip: Use puffy paint on the spots for a raised, glossy finish that really makes the ladybug pop.
