CROCHET BUMBLE BEE PATTERN

MATERIALS:

• Crochet hook size 2.5
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Crochet yarn in 4 chosen colors (We will call it COLOR A, B, C and D)
• Stuffing material
• 6 mm black safety eyes

 

STEP BY STEP

Row 1 – Start with color A and make 6 single crochet stitches in a magic ring (a loop) – you should have 6 stitches.

Row 2 – Increase in each stitch (double the stitches) – now you have 12 stitches.

Row 3 – *Single crochet in 1 stitch, then increase in the next stitch ** – repeat from * to **  6 times in total (18 stitches).

Row 4 – *Single crochet in 2 stitches, then increase in the next stitch ** – repeat from * to ** pattern 6 times (24 stitches).

Row 5 – *Single crochet in 3 stitches, then increase in the next stitch** – repeat this pattern (from * to **) 6 times (30 stitches).

Row 6 – Single crochet in each stitch.

7-10. Switch to color B and continue with single crochet stitches. Pause crocheting to place safety eyes between rounds 5 and 6, making sure there are 8 stitches between the eyes.

11-13. Switch back to color A and continue with single crochet stitches.

14-17. Switch to color B and continue with single crochet stitches.

Row 18 – Switch to color A and continue with single crochet stitches.

Row 19 – *3 sc, then decrease**– repeat this pattern ( from * to **)6 times (24 stitches).

Row 20 – *2 Single crochet, then decrease** – repeat this pattern 6 times (18 stitches).

Stop crocheting to start stuffing the bee. You can add a small parcel of dried lavender if you like, but it’s optional.

Row 21 – *1 Single crochet, then decrease** – repeat this pattern 6 times (12 stitches).

1. Decrease in each stitch until you have 6 stitches left.

Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing the last stitches together.

 

WINGS (make 2):

Start with color C and make 6 single crochet stitches in a magic ring (6).

Increase by 2 stitches in each round (12 in total).

After completing the wings, create a slip stitch, fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing them onto the bee.

 

ASSEMBLING:

Sew the wings on top of the bee, positioning them between the two black stripes with a gap of 2 rows to allow space for the chain.

Chain 40, leaving a tail long enough to thread through the bee. Complete the chain by joining the first stitch with a slip stitch. Use the two long tails to sew the hanging loop onto the body.

To add details to the bee’s face:

Using three strands of thread from color D, sew two pink dots two rows down from the eyes on each side.

Use three strands of thread from color B to create the mouth by forming a V shape at the front of the face.
