🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

Why does hers look so amazing u can see every detail and mine just looks like a blob

[@rorireiswig5614]

I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but it might be because of which side ends up facing out. My work seems to curve inward usually, and I flip it inside out to get the clearer, more detailed side on the outside. It might also just be differences from the type of yarn used. Hope this helped! :)

[@21pilots57]

I can relate :')

[@Chainsawctopus_]

also depends on what kind of yarn you use

Yay! This is so helpful, I was wanting to make myself a big bee, but I was worried I would do it wrong since I haven’t done many projects with crocheting. Now I can make a small bee and not worry if I make a mistake because it isn’t as big as the big bee and should be easy to fix :D

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥰

[@jul2447]

I feel like bigger crochet things would be easier to fix? Because the thicker yarn

[@abigailunderkoffler]

@@jul2447 Well I would have used regular yarn that wasn’t necessarily thicker, so that’s why. But yes if you had thicker yarn it would probably be easier to fix.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was the first amigurumi I ever learned how to crochet and inspired me to create my own local crochet plush business!

[@ninavlogss.]

I’m almost 12 and I’ve wanted to make one of these bees for a while. I’ve used multiple tutorials and just couldn’t get the magic loop, or the ones without it ended up not working. Your magic loop tutorial really helped me, and I’ve just finished a blue and black bee because I can’t find my yellow yarn. It’s good to practice though! My first bee took about an hour and I started a second am almost done and it’s taken me around 20 minutes. I’m definitely going to give this as Christmas gifts! Edit: When I made this, I didn’t have any stitch markers or safety eyes. I recommend using a hoop earring or a paper clip for a stitch marker, and just stitch on the eyes as you would the mouth. I have those supplies now and my yellow yarn! I love my bees!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Nina, that is amazing! I am glad you managed to make your bees.😀 Great tip on the stitch markers too!🐝 What do you want to make next?
