Tiny Bees is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank.

Full of colour and slightly larger than life-sized, Tiny Bees are the perfect addition to any crocheted flower arrangement. With just a few rounds of crochet, a couple of colour changes, and simple no-sew wings, your little bee friend will come together in no time at all!

Yarn: Small quantity of worsted weight yarn in yellow, black, off-white (optional: and white)

Hook: E US/3.5mm

Size: approx 1.75” (4.5cm) long. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.)

Please note: The spotted and white-tailed bees pictured here are not part of the free pattern. This pattern is Donationware - the basic yellow-and-black bee pattern pictured in the first photo is available for free, but if you like it please consider sending me a donation to show your appreciation, and to receive the exclusive bonus bee patterns as part of the PDF.

The PDF version, available for any size donation, is formatted for easy viewing and printing, and also includes two bonus bee patterns (spotted and white-tailed) that you’ll only find in the PDF version, so you can make all three common bumblebee styles. The complete basic yellow-and-black bee pattern is available to view in full (for no charge) from the linked page.
