Addi Express Knit Bee Tutorial

[@LadyDonnaCrochet]

Great tip on lining up the stripes. Thank you.

[@Savlabot]

Thank you!

[@SimpleAcre]

Awesome tutorial. Love how you matched up the stripes and the stinger addition. Makes everything look very well put together!!

[@Savlabot]

Thank you

[@Rengaw.k]

How did I miss this when it was first published!? Great tutorial!

[@ShawnLawson414]

Your tags and cards are so adorable. I made this bee. My first attempt at a stuffie. I love it. I made up wings on my 22 but yours are cuter. Wasn’t confident in my sewing skills. I did crochet the stinger. First time crocheting like that but your instructions were great. It’s not as pretty as yours but I’m still learning. He will be added to my misfit army. Stuff I make that isn’t that good. 😂 Yet I’m proud of them and love them for being my firsts and special to me.

[@Savlabot]

Thank you 😊I am so glad you gave it a try and did the stinger even though it was new, I bet your bee looks amazing. I have been thinking of trying some wings on the machine too.

[@Shawl-Yall-Girl]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing it!!

[@Tonia.lynn2411]

I would love to see more animals used to make with the Addi ❤️

[@PennyLester]

What an adorable bee!

[@Savlabot]

Thank you ☺️

[@bonitahyer2780]

Have you ever made a bigger Bee with a 46 Addi machine? If so, wondering what your row counts would be? Love this perfectly little bumblebee!,,,

[@Savlabot]

I have not, but I think you could double the row counts to make one on the bigger machine.

[@Hanya101]

trying this out now!!

[@robinhowell9834]

How do you get the front of the bee so smooth??? I may have missed it in the video, not sure but thought I'd ask. Thanks

[@Savlabot]

I just shape it with my fingers. I try to press out the folds that are made when it is cinched before I stuff it.

[@cblalezari]

Is there any way to do the stinger and the wings on the Addi? I just can’t crochet at all. Thanks.

[@Savlabot]

You can do the winds on the Addi, but I am not sure of the best way to do the stinger, maybe if you have an Addi egg that does the icord you could make the work as the stinger. I think for the wings you could do two 12 maybe 15 row tubes in white and cinch both ends closed hen attach them as the wings, I think I have seen some like that.

What about the mouth?

[@micheleanne8127]

I love it and I will try it but I am deaf and subtitles would be great. Would that be possible without going to too much trouble? Thank you.🙂

[@Savlabot]

Thank you. Have you tried using the cc box to add the caption, I will see if I am able to edit those so that they are as accurate as possible, but I think that the cc box is available on all browsers.

[@micheleanne8127]

@@Savlabot Thank you for your suggestion. I am very old (86) and computer illiterate. Ha-Ha! Have a good day.

[@Savlabot]

@@micheleanne8127 I think all KZbin videos have the CC box which will turn on subtitles. If you aren't able to find it let me know and I can try to help you navigate to where you can find it, it shows up in different spots depending on the device you are on. On a computer it is on the bottom of the video screen, and says cc.

[@jayieanderson5210]

You can

[@MAYWEDDING2010]

Hello what size eyes are you using?

[@Savlabot]

I am not sure what size they are. I bought a pack with a variety of sizes and they are not labeled. I use mostly the next to largest size in the pack that I have.

[@christinemcleod2234]

How many sts you cast on

[@Savlabot]

@@christinemcleod2234 it’s made on a knitting machine so I don’t cast on to knitting needles. I use a 22 pin machine and all that info is in the video description.

[@mspenguins57]

Where is the description box please.?? Can’t find out number of rows ?

[@Savlabot]

The description box is above where you add a public comment, usually on a computer you will see the words "show more" and that will show the info in the description box...on a phone I think it is just a down arrow. I hope that helps you find it.

[@mspenguins57]

@@Savlabot found it thank you. Just one more question. I will be knitting on a loom, how many pegs would you cast on?

[@Savlabot]

@@mspenguins57 I haven't made anything on a peg loom before, the machine that I use has 22 pins, but I think you could probably use a small one, 24 pegs and then try it out following the row counts to see how it goes. If you make one please share with me, I would love to see it. If you are on Instagram my name is @savlabot I am thinking on a peg loom blanket yarn might work really well too.

[@missfaja]

If I want to make this on the King machine, do I just double the row count or keep it the same

[@Savlabot]

I am not sure, I would think you could double the row counts and it would work, but I have not tried it.

[@ElsieHaywood-g4j]

Cast on how many??

[@Savlabot]

This is a knitting machine pattern, not a hand knit pattern. Details on rows and the machine used is in the video description.

[@marthsfisher]

how many stitches did u cast on to start knitting

[@Savlabot]

The details are in the description. I didn't make this by hand, I used a knitting machine which has 22 pins.

[@ooioo772001]

How many stitches did you cast on?

[@Savlabot]

This is made using an Addi Express knitting machine, it has 22 pins, so I would think if you are hand knitting you could use either 22 or 24. When I hand knit the tubes are usually a little smaller than the machines, so I like to cast on a few extra stitches.

[@ooioo772001]

Thanks! I am going to make one for my father in law. He is a beekeeper.
