Bumbo the Bee

This pattern is also available for free: https://www.onceuponacheerio.com/2023/10/no-sew-amigurumi-bee-crochet-pattern.html * I made this amigurumi doll using the "[Yarn Under Single Crochet][1]" technique. This technique makes the stitches tighter and appears more aligned. * Use the [ultimate finish][2] to close up the amigurumi. Crochet in continuous rounds. Do not join at the end of each round. * Use a [running stitch marker][3] to keep your place when crocheting in rounds. * **Optional**: I used the invisible increase and invisible decrease for a nicer finish. * **Optional**: I made a version using the [half-color changing technique][4] (see photos for reference). * **Final Measurements**: 10 cm (approx. 4 inches) not including the antennas * Use different yarn weights/categories and the appropriate hook size for this project to make it bigger/smaller. * The arms and wings are crocheted onto the body so there's no sewing involved. Follow the order of the pattern and make the arms and wings before making the body and head.
