For those wanting the written pattern, I have typed it out for you. I made some slight adjustments to make it more beginner friendly: Body: 1. in color A: 6 sc in mr (6) 2. 6 inc (12) 3. (Sc, inc)*6 (18) 4. 18 sc. in the last sc change to color B (18) 5. 18 sc. in the last sc change to color A (18) 6. 18 sc. in the last sc change to color B (18) 7. 18 sc. in the last sc change to color A (18) 8. 18 sc (18) Insert the eyes between row 2 and 3, 5-8 stitches apart (center the eyes to your liking). Optional: You can add blush below the eyes now or do so after the body is finished. 9. (Dec, sc)*6 (12) Add stuffing 10. 6 dec (6) Cut the yarn, fasten off and sew the body closed. Wings: 1. Make a slipknot and insert your hook into one of the black sc on top of the body. Sc 1. Then sc one more into the next yellow stitch. (2) 2. Ch 1 and turn your work. 2 inc into the 2 sc from last round. (4) 3. Turn your work. 3 sc (3) Make 1 ss on the side of the wing to bring the yarn tail down to the body and fasten off. Tuck in the ends. Turn your bee around and make a second wing next to the first one.

For everyone struggling, look up how to do slip knots, single crochets, increases, and decreases before you start making anything ever! (Then learn how to do them) Having the knowledge of knowing how to do these basics will allow you to work through projects such as these A LOT faster.

I'm having trouble when starting a circle. When I start knitting into the same chain that it says to, my yarn starts to form into a ball instead of creating a flat circle. I need advice on what I might be doing wrong. "I've just started crocheting".😊

[@Stary3clipes]

How do you stop it from overlaying on the stripes? love the tutorial, thx

[@PhoenixTV109]

The stripes are difficult to keep from overlaying, so I keep the area where they overlay and switch to the other color on the bottom so it is not as noticeable

is the 4 chain and 6 crochet just basically a magic circle? or no ? sry i’m new to crochet

It is basically a magic circle! You can use the magic circle to instead if you would like. I like using both, and both will work for this project!

[@paullettejilliancoloma730]

In the first row, do you single crochet in the loop? Or not

[@PhoenixTV109]

It’s basically a single crochet, just pull through without yarning over for the stitch

[@nat4032]

can i ask what type of yarn u used? because the yarn looks so fluffy and soft

[@PhoenixTV109]

I used Baby Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby, It is really soft! I also used a chenille yarn by Premier from the Dollar store for the black stripes! They both work really well!

[@Ivylynness]

[@larisaszr]

hello! i'm a beginner andd my yarn is thinner than this one, i use a 3mm hook andd I'm wonder if it comes out the same, if I have less yarn

[@PhoenixTV109]

The general shape should be about the same, except the finished bee might be a little smaller, but that’s totally fine!

[@larisaszr]

thank you so much!!!

[@V3n_43ver]

I don’t understand the slip knot. When you single crochet the black and yellow yarn has only 2?

[@PhoenixTV109]

So when I added the black yarn, I made a new slip knot for it. Then I added it to my hook. When transitioning between the colors the yarn overlaps so there may be three loops on the hook at one time

For the first part (ch four and then stitch in back loop) is it a slip stitch, or a single crochet, or what? Also, does that just mean 4 sc in magic ring/loop? I don’t really understand

[@PhoenixTV109]

The stitch through the back loop is a single crochet, and then 6 single crochet through the loop created. If this is kinda complicated, then you could just do a basic magic ring with 6 sc in it.

If you mean for the beginning circle, then it is best to go through the end of the 4 chain row to make the circle. For the other single crochet in the project go through the loop that is directly in front of it. I hope this helps!
