★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE (if you use thick yarn) and ADVANCED (if you use thin yarn)

★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :

  • Yarn: I use thin «Slonim» yarn (cotton+acrylic, 100g ~ 1500m). Colors: yellow, white. A floss of 1-2 threads is also suitable, you need a thin thread, as thin as possible. Also we need Kid Mohair, for example: Alize, YarnArt, Gazzal… (mohair/polyamid, 50g ~ 500m), brown color. For a flower part: floss in 2 threads, colors - pink, yellow (segmental, lighter than yellow for a bee) and green.

NOTE: this pattern can also be used for crocheting toys from thicker yarn, so if it is difficult for you to crochet using thin yarn, try to crochet using thicker yarn first.

To decorate the face: black thread (embroider the nose and mouth, to make paws and antennae), white thread (embroider a semicircle beside the eyes).

  • Hook №0.7 (0.7mm, it is extremely difficult to crochet from thin yarn, try different hook numbers, perhaps it will be more convenient for you to crochet using thinner or thicker hook: №0.6-0.9)
  • Fiberfill (to stuff)
  • Glue eyes (2mm)
  • Thin wire (0.4mm): for antennae 1pc ~5cm, for paws 2pcs ~9cm each
  • Thick wire (1.5mm) for a flower 1pc ~30cm
  • Clear nail polish
  • Needle, safety pins, scissors, glue (Moment Crystal), thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).

★ SKILLS REQUIRED:

You must have basic crochet skills (with crocheting micro toys) - this pattern is not so easy so please ask me if you will have some questions/difficulties.


This pattern is ADVANCED LEVEL but easy to follow with step-by-step instructions (9 pages with detailed instructions and ~50 photos illustrating the process)
