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:
- 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!

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 ❤️

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 😊

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 Youtuber 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

Youtube 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 :)

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! ❤

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)!

Hey. Hey friend. Don’t cry. You’ll learn that magic circle! Don’t give up

[alexa_platz]

Finally someone who explains it well, I try with other tutorial but it always ended up being ugly but now it came out perfect! Thank so much😊❤

[juliez]

I’m making this along with you, and I just noticed that you taught us how to make almost totally invisible yarn color changes - EASILY. wow and thanks!

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❤

[pumyyyy]

I watched sooo many like 30 minutes - 1 hour tutorials and the only one I really understood was this one the video was very short but sooo easy to understand! Tysm!

[radiantpixie.]

Thank you! Your channel helped me pick up chrochet again after about of 2 years of a break!

[emmyyooo]

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 🫶🏻
