From Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 1999:

“Cuter than a June bug in a tin pan. I-cord lady bugs line up on a panel of eyelet leaves (set in a background of moss stitch) and travel the edges of the matching leaf-trimmed cap. The yarn is pure cotton ‘Kolibri’ from Dale of Norway.”

Pattern directions also include a matching hat pattern.
