Hope the Honeybee

This listing is for my realistic bee crochet pattern. The printable PDF pattern includes written and detailed photo and video instructions. I have a free version of the crochet bee video tutorial [on my YouTube channel][1]. This PDF pattern is simply for those of you who prefer written photo instructions that can be accessed offline or printed. **LANGUAGES:** English (US) **SIZE:** If using the recommended yarn weight and hook size your honeybee will be about 2.75" (7 cm) long (including antennae), with a wingspan of 2.75" (7 cm). **CONSTRUCTION:** The head and body are crocheted without sewing. The eyes are embroidered. The legs, proboscis and antennae are shaped with craft wire. The wings are sewn on the body. **MATERIALS AND TOOLS:** * Light worsted (DK/size 3) or 4-Ply (Sport/Fingering/size 2) cotton yarn in dark brown or black, yellow, and a small amount in pale red [I used Scheepjes Catons in Chocolate, Saffron, and Brick Red] * Mohair Lace Yarn or similar [I used Hobbii Diablo in Primrose] * Cotton lace yarn in beige or white [I used Hobbii Rainbow Lace in Beige] * 2.5mm crochet hook (size B-1 or C-2, depending on how tightly you crochet) * 2mm crochet hook (size A-0 or B-1, depending on how tightly you crochet) * Black embroidery floss * Stitch markers * Yarn needle * Large-eyed sewing or embroidery needle * Scissors * Pins * Craft wire (for the legs and antennae) * Glue (for the legs and antennae) * Small flat pliers (for the legs and antennae) I'm always happy to help!
