With some minor changes, I was able to use the pattern for the body panels as the base to transform a fearsome lion into a buzzing bee. Her finished measurement is approximately 32 cm/12 inches from top to bottom. Please note that, while this pattern is not difficult, there is a fair amount of sewing, attaching and assembling involved. Maybe pair her with a beautiful soft grey baby blanket to match? Perfect baby shower gift!Īs usual, this Bumble Bee pattern is made in the same style as our Ragdoll patterns separate pieces worked in flat rows and then joined together to give them that unique 2-D look. This lady has 18 separate pieces. ![]() Repeat for the 2nd wing a few stitches apart.Anyway, I’m back to crocheting again after an eventful weekend! I have another cute little critter to bring you…a sweet little Bumble Bee! □ I decided to go with soft, pastel colours for this bee, which I think would make it a perfect fit for a nursery, either as a cuddle buddy or as wall decor.

Round 13: *DC in next stitch, DC next 2 stitches together. Stuff bee and continue stuffing as you complete the remaining rounds. Rounds 6-7: With black, DC in each stitch. Change to black in very last stitch as described in notes above. Round 3: *DC in next stitch, 2 DC in next stitch. Round 2: Work 2 DC into each of the 6 stitches (12 STS) Round 1: Work 6 DC into your magic ring (6 STS) HTC – half treble crochet (Cherry Heart have a good tutorial for half treble crochet stitch as well as others!) Small quantity of black, yellow and white DK yarn As you move to the next stitch, give the previous yarn colour a gently tug to tighten the stitch. Use the NEW yarn colour to make the final wrap to complete the stitch. When changing colour, in the last stitch of the round, insert the hook through the next stitch as normal and draw yarn through. ![]() Pattern notes: This pattern is made using UK notation and is crocheted in a continuous round. ![]()
