As per all my designs, I had something in mind and didn't find a pattern for exactly what I wanted, so to the thinking board and I came up with this!
Crochet amigurumi bees are my go to project for anyone who needs a little pick me up. These little guys whip up in no time, and perfect for scrape yarn. I love pairing them with a nice card for a cozy gift or a delightful addition to your home decor. These are my favorite stash buster project, they are quick and can be used for multiple projects and decoration or for goody bags.
They're also totally customizable, you can choose vibrant colors, add fun details like fuzzy wings, heart blush or even create a whole buzzing beehive!
