Whether you are advanced in Tunisian crochet or just a beginner, you can use this Tunisian crochet mosaic bee motif to add beautiful details to your projects.

In the tutorial, I show you how to make a potholder using this motif and two colors of chunky felting yarn:

  • 35 g or 35 m of main color (white in my case);
  • 30 g or 30 m of contrast color (blue in my case);

You will use an 8 mm Tunisian crochet hook (or a straight hook) for the Tunisian crochet part, then add details using a 6 mm regular hook.

After you make it, you will felt the potholder to be used in the kitchen.

Alternatively, you can use cotton to make a dishcloth or a pocket on a bag, or you can use the motif in a larger piece.

The pattern comes in written instructions, video instructions with row by row chart highlights, and a chart.
