Mini Crochet Bee – Keychain & Cute Plush Pattern

This tiny crochet bee is the perfect quick and satisfying make. Measuring approximately 5 cm, it’s designed as a small amigurumi project that works beautifully as a keychain, bag charm, or a small toy for older children. It’s also ideal for claw machine-style plush displays, thanks to its compact size and cute, eye-catching design.

Materials:

• 100% cotton yarn
• Yarn colors: Yellow, Black and White (Scheepjes Catona: white – 106, black – 110, yellow – 249)
• Crochet hook 2.5 mm
• Polyester fiberfill
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Safety eyes (optional)

Size:
Approx. 5 cm / 2 inches (depending on tension and yarn used)

Yarn Usage:

This is a mini stash-friendly pattern – it uses only very small amounts of yarn (scraps).
You will need less than one full skein of each color, making it perfect for leftover cotton yarn projects.

About the Pattern:

The bee is worked in continuous rounds (classic amigurumi style) and shaped simply for fast production. Its small size makes it ideal for bulk making, selling at craft fairs, or stocking in claw machines and small prize displays.
