Free Amigurumi Chubby Bee Crochet Pattern

Este post también está disponible en: Español Français

The chubby bee, the best pollen collector and the biggest honey lover in the whole beehive. True to the motto “If you work hard, you can also eat a lot of honey”, the chubby bee collects like no other bee to eventually consume half of this work herself.

And as long as the wings go along with it, it will continue to collect pollen and devour the honey with pleasure … much to the chagrin of the beekeepers.

This amigurumi bee bee not only serves as a wonderfully cuddly toy, but also wonderfully as a gawking doorstop, aerodynamic projectile to defend your own honey bread or as a paperweight.

This crochet bee is crocheted with chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, treble crochet stitches and double treble crochet stitches in spiral rounds and in rows and is easy to crochet.

The depicted amigurumi bee has been crocheted with the “Schachenmayr Catania” yarn with a 2.5 mm crochet hook and has a length of 15 cm and a height of 8 cm.

Assembling

Pupils: The pupils are 6 mm safety eyes which have to be shortened a little after attaching to the eye so that the eye itself is not unintentionally deformed after sewing it onto the head.

Push the safety eye through the middle of the crocheted eye. If you have problems pushing the safety eye through the middle of the crocheted eye, take a crochet hook and pierce it through the middle to enlarge the opening.

Then attach the washer and cut short the stem of the eye with scissors.

Eyes: Sew on the eyes 2 stitch rows after the nose, the nose ends with the stitch row that was crocheted only into the front loops. The eyes should have at the narrowest point a distance of 1 stitch to each other.

Legs: Sew on one leg each to the left and right on the first and second black stripe and on the second yellow stripe after the head. Sew on the legs so that the “feet” (the round part of the legs) are attached lower than the bottom of the body. Make sure that each sewed on leg is positioned only on one stripe.

Antennae: Sew on the antennae 1 stitch row behind the eyes with a distance of 2 stitches to each other.

Wings: Sew on the wings on the first black stripe after the head, after the 1st stitch row after the color change with a distance of 1 stitch to each other.
