Ami Love Bug
Here is another one, in blue I have done... It's Mr. & Mrs. Love Bug, having a cup of tea... :P
Well here is my very first amigurumi. (One I made up on my own, anyway...) You will need ?? I don't know, 3 oz. of the main color in a worsted weight. (I used Red Heart) And less than that probably of the contrasting color. I'm not sure on the amounts. I had two big skeins (7 oz.) And a G hook. Also I used little lock on eyes. And a big yarn needle to sew everything on.

(Now you will be making the 'bumps' on the heart)

3-5: Rep row 2. You will have 7, 5, and 3 stitches at end of each row. At end of row 5, fasten off. Join yarn in corner space to the right of side just worked. Repeat 1st side. (Yu will only work on hdc in corner space where you already worked 2 hdc for first side, and only work one hdc for the first row instead of two.) Join yarn in "point" of heart (corner space) w/ sl st. Ch 1. 3 sc in same space. Sc evenly all around, w/ a sl st in "V" of heart. Sc evenly around other side. Join w/ sl st to first sc. Leaving a length to sew onto body, fasten off.
Heart for front of body:
Work first row of wing (basically a granny's daughter).

Join yarn in 'point' of heart (corner space), 3 sc in same space. Sc evenly all around, w/ a sl st in 'v' of heart. Sc evenly around other side, join and fasten off, leaving a length to sew onto body.
Nose:
Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Join, fasten off leaving a length to sew onto face.
Legs (Make four):
Ch 23. 3 dc in third ch from hook, and in each ch across. Fasten off, leaving a length to sew onto body with.
Antennae (Make two):
Leaving a length to sew onto head, ch 8. 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sl st in next 6 chains. Fasten off. (I use two loose ends to kind of tie to the head, if you can hide the knot somehow. Then sl st a couple/few times to the head. Pull loose ends into head.)
