How to Crochet an Amigurumi Bee
Step 1: Start your journey through the Body of the Bee
Step 2: Alter Colors until you get a black Stripe
For the creation of your first black stripe you have to switch between black and yellow yarn. Begin by leaving two loops of yellow yarn on your crochet hook. Next, use the crochet hook to push the black yarn through the loops of yellow. At this point, you can utilize the black yarn for the next row. Repeat the process to switch back and forth between colors to create the bee's distinctive stripes.
Step 3: Add Facial Details
After that, you can create the bee's antennae. Each time, you'll need a piece of black yarn, tie the slip knot. Chain five stitches, and then single crochet 4 stitches. Join the yarn to the bee by pulling the loose ends of the yarn across your fabric with your crochet hook. tie it with an elastic knot.
Step 4: Crochet and attach the wings
With your white yarn, crochet two wings. Similar to what you've done to make the body of the honeybee, begin with an untie knot. You can then either create an illusion ring or make a chain of two stitches then the six crochets. Follow your pattern, building wings using a sequence of single crochets and increments. Thread your needle through the tapestry using white yarn and stitch every wing onto an insect's body.
Fifth Step: Complete out and Complete
Make sure you pick your yellow yarn up and continue following the pattern. Work with single crochets, then decreasing to start closing the body. When you get to the finish, fill the bee with fiberfill and stuff the bee. After you have finished your bee, make sure to weave the tail end of the yarn into your last stitches and pull the yarn as tight as you can, thereby securing it closed. Make a knot small and pull the other end of the yarn into body of the bee.
