Crochet Cute Bumblebee Amigurumi Tutorial

Hi!! This video shows a very simple and quick way to crochet the famous amigurumi stuffed bee. This little bee plush is super cute and fast to make! It takes me about an hour to complete one!
Materials:
Scrap yarn blue, white, and black: amzn.to/3XlxBW0
- Weight: Medium (4)
- Fiber: 100% acrylic
- Approximate total length: 50 yd / 46 m
- Approximate total weight: 25 g
5.0 mm Aluminum Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Project Level:
This project isn't too difficult, but it does use more concepts that a beginner may not be familiar with. This pattern is worked in joined rounds, and uses color changes and sewing. It also uses a magic circle, but it can be replaced with chaining 2 and single crocheting into the 2nd chain from the hook.
Stitches:
Magic circle (mc)
Chain (ch)
Single crochet (sc)
Slip stitch (sl st)
Single crochet increase (inc)
Single crochet decrease (sc2tog, dec)
Gauge:
18 sc - 20 rows = 4 in / 10 cm
Dimensions:
2.5 inches in diameter x 3.5 inches long or 6 cm in diameter x 9 cm long
Tips:
- Tighten your slip stitches to make the seam smaller and less visible
- The chain 1 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a single crochet
- If you're having trouble with the magic circle, consider making a slip knot, chaining 2, then doing 6 single crochets into the 2nd chain from the hook
- Pull your loose ends to the inside of the bee (where no one will be able to see!)
Thanks for watching!

I just started crocheting and seriously watched about 30 tutorials, and this is seriously the ONLY one I understood!!! Thank u sm!

[@fiizz3097]

Did you make one? Was it hard?

[@atinyzen8443]

@@fiizz3097 I made it and I thought that it was really simple. I’ve watched a bunch of other tutorials and this is the only one that I understood. It took me about 7-8 to finish because I work really slow

You've FINALLY helped me understand how to do a magic circle. My left handed self couldn't mirror the movements, and you provided such a easy to understand explanation and clear visual. THANK YOU ❤️

[@VivCrochets]

Wow, thank you so much!! I’m so glad I could help!

[@galacticemptiness8035]

IKR LIKE ALL THE TUTORIALS ARE RIGHT HANDED AND ITS SO HARD

[@klaudiajabonska2531]

I was about to say the same thing! You showed that perfectly! Lovely

[@kaloy9982]

or you can look at left handed tutorials for basic stitches

[@olamozdzierz5205]

I’m also left handed, but I decided to learn crochet using my right hand since using the left one would make it 10x harder

[@KristenVOtaku]

KZbin recommended your catghan sweater tutorial to me and I ended up watching the entire thing and am about to go out and get yarn to start the project! Your tutorials are so thorough and easy to follow, the absolute best. Thank you so much for these :)

[@VivCrochets]

That is so nice, thank you so much!!

[@luvxasal]

I’ve been trying MANY different tutorials on how to crochet and could never keep up after the first round. I looked at this one and figured it was easy so attempted to make it. I tried several times but couldn’t make it. Also just randomly I would try to crochet but never could. After about a year, I picked up my crochet hook and gave it another go. I managed to do like three rounds before messing up. That got me the hang of it and I understood a bit more about single crochets and increases. The next day - as I was super excited - I came back and tried to follow this again. I started crocheting with little hope and did like six rounds before I started getting serious on it. Everyone would tell me I shouldn’t start crochet with amigurumi but I wouldn’t listen. I struggled a bit to get back on track after sewing the eyes, wings etc. but at the end I managed to finish it. For those of you who want to start crochet with amigurumi, I recommend you begin with things a bit more mini than this is. But overall thank you so much for this pattern and I loved the way you explained everything (super clear and beginner friendly)!

[@mishaaltt5968]

Hi! I am a new crochet learner and just started crocheting almost a week ago. But what I didn't know was that the magic circle is so important! I have watched several tutorials and explainations, but this video just made me understand the magic circle just in the first minutes! Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial🌷💖

[@cutelamala]

Thank you for sharing this detailed but not too long video. I always look for focused videos that are straight to the point and with details, not a chit chat videos which distract you from what are you doing. I did my first bee and it went fantastic. Thank you again❤

[@ajbass80229]

I learned how to crochet yesterday and I'm already half way done with my bee I didn't understand at all before but this made it so easy to understand and get started thank you so much! ❤

[@nocontentjscomments]

Yes, i stared yesterday too

[@feliz00]

As a beginner I would just like to say THANK YOU! This is such a good tutorial, very well explained Awesome! Cant wait to make this! YAYAYAY

[@candiesjeffrey9145]

This is the only video where I felt the pattern was explained well and the bee was really cute making one for my friend’s birthday I am really excited thank you for the video 💜

[@js.meee1]

This is a life saver. This tutorial helped me make the most CUTEST honeybee, and I’ve never done amigurumi, like ever. And I wanted to try it. I was alr subscribed to her channel, and it said easy on the rite and did not disappoint? I literally can’t use any other KZbinr other than a few people with clear voices. But like, she showed me how to do a rlly good magic circle! I couldn’t get it with the tutorials this is just. Amazing. And if u guys are wondering, I’m 11 yrs

[@emmyyooo5760]

Yesterday I picked up a crochet hook for the first time ever in my life. I tried going to this tutorial however I just couldn’t get it. This morning I decided to give it another go and I’ll tell you that this was THE BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen. You made it so simple, and due to my dodgy counting I got a lopsided bee but it’s my first ever project so I’m so pleased with myself. Thank you! I’m so excited to make more and improve my technique 🫶🏻

[@Samantha-pd2ne]

I’m am a beginner new to crochet and this tutorial was very easy to follow and so satisfying to see the bee come to life 😊

[@spareaccount3453]

hi this was a wonderful tutorial, but I am curious if I made my bee a few extra rows (as in increase every 5th stitch, 6th stitch etc) do I repeat this with the decrease (as in decrease every 6th stitch, every 5th stitch etc) or should I just continue with decrease every 4th stitch as the pattern suggest? Hopefully you can understand and thanks 😊😊
