When flowers begin to bloom and colors start popping up everywhere, you know that spring has come in full swing. Bring that joyful energy into your house by making this lovely crochet bumblebee toy from Hooked by Robin. It will be a fun take for any amigurumi fan who would like to decorate their room with this adorable handmade piece. It will work as a nice gift idea for insect lovers, too.
Can Beginners Make This Pattern Without Trouble?
This bumblebee amigurumi crochet pattern requires basic knowledge of stitches, which makes it very beginner-friendly.
It’s worked in the round as a one big oval piece with some simple color changes. Once you’ve crocheted the body, don’t forget to add two wings in a contrasting white shade. If you have any scraps of pink-colored yarn, use them to make cute cheeks blush for this little guy.
Gather The Materials You Need
Make sure that you use a crochet hook in a smaller size to get your stitches tight. The pattern calls for a 4.5 mm hook and bulky-weight yarn in bumblebee colors.
To produce that delightful chubby look for your crochet bee amigurumi, consider choosing Stylecraft Special Chunky or Premier Yarns Basix Chunky, or go for any other yarn that you like.
You will also need some polyfill stuffing, 10 mm safety eyes, and very small bits of thinner yarn in black and pink.
Is This Bee Safe For Babies And Toddlers?
The original design features plastic safety eyes, which are not recommended for babies and small children. Instead of using safety eyes, go for crocheted or embroidered ones. These can be very charming, too. Moreover, you can play around with different eye expressions, giving your bumblebee a fun kawaii style or a cute sleeping look.
