A Great First Amigurumi Project

If you’re new to amigurumi, this little bee is a lovely project to try.

The crochet pieces use simple single crochet stitches, so you can practise your basic crochet skills while creating something cute at the same time.

The body, wings and cheeks are made separately before being assembled to bring your little bee to life.

Cute Little Details

It’s the little details that give this Bumble Bee so much personality!

The classic yellow and black striped body, white wings, rosy cheeks and stitched smile combine to create an adorable little crochet character.

Choose Your Colours

Traditional yellow and black looks great, but why not create your own colourful bee?

Try pink, blue, purple, pastel or rainbow colours, or simply use whatever DK yarn you already have in your stash.

Make one traditional bumblebee or create a whole colourful swarm!
