About this pattern
Dotty is a ladybug in gnome form. Her tall red hat has round black dots and two little black antennae on top, and she has a white beard, a peach nose and black boots. She brightens a windowsill from the first spring flowers to the end of summer, and makes a cute gift for a gardener or a bug-loving child.
