[@TinaW1294]

Hi Genna. I usually watch your You Tube videos on my TV so I don't comment. I've been following you since last fall and love all of your items. My Mom taught me how to crochet when I was 6 years old. I'll be turning 58 this year. :) I just love all of the plushies that you make! I ordered a few patterns from your Etsy shop so I can make a few of them. I really enjoy your enthusiasm, your love of crochet and your ability to make me smile when watching you. Thanks for the awesome tutorials, also! Keep smiling, creating and crocheting!

[@Yourbud_Rex]

Wow that's so cool. You must be an expert now ❤

[@kimayne1]

Hi Genna-I have been watching your channel and I absolutely love your content and your tutorials. They are very clear and easy to understand. I am 64 years old and have been crocheting since I was 11. I have just started getting into crocheting plushies. I was recently watching your tutorial for a mini bee. It is so adorable. I just wanted to respectfully point out that it looked like you were doing your invisible decreases incorrectly. When you go under the first front loop you don’t pull up a loop. You immediately go under the second front loop then pull up a loop and complete the single crochet. If you pull up a loop under each front loop you are essentially doing a regular decrease just under the front loops instead of both loops. I hope my wording is clear. If I didn’t see what you were doing correctly in the tutorial I apologize. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me. You do beautiful work and I LOVE your turtles! That is going to be my next plushie project.

[@hii3215]

Ofc! Gotta love the new intro! This is a great tutorial, totally will use! ❤ hope you see this!

[@danahanlon2265]

This was perfect timing. I just finished making 2 bees this morning before work! I love making them with fun colors. Thanks!

[@JacksonLOZ]

Genna, I have been watching your vids pretty much since the beginning. I am 15 and you have inspired me to keep crocheting. You are so kind, and if I knew you in real life I think you would be a really good friend😃🌺

[@lisaharvey3545]

Hi Genna, I really enjoy your videos. I have just recently started crocheting again and love how you explain things. It seems so easy the way you explain things. Tonight I made my first bee from your video, I didn't have yellow so I used pink and grey. I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks for you dedication and I will definitely look to your videos again.

[@knotfae]

Omg she posted again!!!! Ty for your vids Genna ❤

[@kittenflyskrafts4744]

I made this bee with acrylic yarn and it turned out so cute! I also added a stinger.

[@user-ny1rq1vs9k]

Hi Genna, Thank you so much. I just getting back into crocheting and this is a perfect small project to start back. It seems simple and straight forward. I can't wait to start it!

[@Mrsfreewarden]

I love your tutorials u explain it so well! In middle of making your strawberry turtle from ur tutorial on KZbin! THANK YOU FOR UR VIDEOS!! Always intertaing ❤❤❤❤🐢

[@kathytincler2446]

This looks so doable for me....a super crochet newbie! I'm hoping this will work with the 'Big Twist Posh' as youtubers have mentioned it would be good for beginners. Thanks so much for this, Genna

[@walkbyfaith2874]

I love the purple bee❤

[@LondonVirtuous]

I’m definitely gonna try this out ❤

[@beverlyb5144]

I will keep this pattern in mind once I learn more stitches. This was very fast for me but it is because I am a beginner crocheter. I love the Bee - I look forward to working up to this pattern. Thank you!!!

[@teixeiraangel]

Thinking about making these for the Valentine’s Day gifts for my kids to bring their class.

[@Lisa..4]

This is going to be my first project. I like the different colors. I think children will like them.

[@Pickelthedinosaur-pickle]

Thank you for sharing this pattern i will definatly make some cute bees❤❤

[@kinderjoy7562]

Such a beautiful intro and pattern will totally try it❤️❤️

[@autumnphoenixart2165]

This is so cute Genna! Love it! ❤ Just FYI, for the decrease, you are actually just doing a normal decrease through the front loops. The invisible decrease is done a little differently. You go through the front loops of both stitches (basically combine them into one) then finish the single crochet like normal. It makes the decrease less bulky and more invisible. I hope that helps. I love your videos and your bubbly personality. Great job!!

[@AlanaViana-ks1qw]

Oi, Genna! Seu vídeo chegou no Brasil! 🇧🇷 Eu amo o seu canal, e hoje eu estava anotando sua receita de tartaruga de morango, para eu poder fazer na escola, já que não posso usar o celular. Eu traduzo e escrevo em português, em meu caderno de crochê! Obrigada por nos ensinar tanto! ❤️🥰

[@michellegallagher5613]

Hey Genna! Thanks for the lesson! I have a hard time using the chanel yarns, so I use regular 4 weight. But I think he turned out well for my 1st try. 😊 You are definitely an inspiration!

[@CrochetByKG]

I love this pattern so much! Thank you Genna for sharing it for free! It is definitely the best bee pattern on KZbin that you could find

[@theresachucle5362]

Thank you for sharing your tutorial have a wonderful evening 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

[@rsmanalansan2896]

Thank you for Sharing your tutorial

[@lorrimonohon860]

Hi, Genna! Great tutorial! I have noticed in this and other tutorials that you are doing the invisible decrease incorrectly. You are not supposed to pull up a loop through the first front loop. You are supposed to put your hook through the first front loop, then immediately through the second front loop, and THEN pull up a loop. In this way the decrease is truly invisible. It is probably not as big a deal with plush yarn, but I just thought you might want to research it so you are not teaching people the incorrect way of doing it. Also, congrats to you on over 75,000 subbies! You are a rock star!

[@carlann9807]

So cute and easy to do. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on 100k on insta and 75 on Yt! I just finished your regular turtle pattern and your penguin pattern! I’m thinking of using your dog pattern for another project! I wanted to make a sunflower turtle for myself, but I don’t know how to do the petals. Could you maybe make a video or short on how to make them? If not, that’s okay! 👍 Thanks! ❤

Hii Genna you should make your own crochet book and publish it!!❤❤

[@GinnySmith700]

Thank you!

[@Hayden_Tallulah]

TYSMM!

[@shadowcrystal226]

Please answer!!!! Could you please do a tutorial for a falcon? A mini one? I would really appreciate it! It's for a project I want to do but I'm having trouble finding a good tutorial 😅 And also I am a beginner so...I thought you would be the perfect person to ask!!

[@AmandaL2313]

Thank you so much for all of your videos I will be attempting this soon! They are amazing and very helpful! I am wondering if you have any video to show how to resize your amigurumi? For example, if I bought a pattern for a bear that is about 8 inches, how would I resize it to be more like 12 inches without doubling up on the yarn or using a larger yarn? I'm still pretty new at doing these, and the plushier yarn makes it harder for me to figure out where my stitches are.

[@fayoonaaa]

size up the yarn and hook it will make a big diffrence

[@rachaelbrown1066]

I love your intro !😜

[@heartscreations]

Hi Genna, I came across your videos and love all of them!! your tutorials are the best to follow, you make it so clear and easy to follow to. I was hoping if you could make a tutorial on how to make a chicken. Please!! Am so happy I found you, your my favorite!

[@michelesantellan4642]

Hi Genna. Love your videos. When I'm putting the eyes on my bee, one seems to be closer to the color change than the other one. Is this normal?

[@frogggyz7030]

Am I the only one who can't even get past the first part of making the magic whatever? I've been trying for 2 weeks now and I just can't do it. I am fustrated and starting to hate the idea of crocheting at this point.

[@LondonVirtuous]

Practice make perfect hun

[@brensshop01]

Hey, instead of a magic ring you can make a slip knot, then chain 2 and single crochet 6 into the 2nd chain from hook! Hope this helps! 😃

[@Milk_Tea_Boba_Bear]

Genna just said bees are black and white

[@80_ghosts]

this video says perfect for beginners but it really is the opposite, you dont even explain how to do a magic ring or anything like that.

[@daniella_bbc]

She talks about it at the very beginning of the video, suggesting to look at other videos to learn the basic stitches, as well as the magic ring. I'm a beginner myself, and I managed to do this pattern, if you need some help finding tutorials for the basic stitches, lmk! ☺️
