Materials Needed for Bumble the Bee Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Cut a long strand of white embroidery thread and insert the needle into a hole on the side of the head, bring it up to a corner on the bottom of the eye, insert into a hole around the top of the eye without pulling too tightly, repeat on the second eye for highlights
• Sew the head to the body adding stuffing when you get to the last few stitches to close properly and create smooth connection
• Optional: Cut a piece of pipe cleaner in half, fold the half in half again and twist, then insert into the lower half of the antennae cutting excess off, or stuff them instead
• Pin the antennae onto the head approximately between rounds 6 and 8, then sew them securely onto the head with even spacing
• Pin the arms to the side of the body approximately between rounds 21 and 22, then sew the arms onto the body in a forward facing angle
• Turn the body upside down with the front of the face facing away from you, pin the legs onto the bottom of the body approximately between rounds 4 and 5, then sew them on
• Pin the crown onto the head in between the antennae positioning it centered, then sew the crown securely onto the head
• Pin the stinger onto the back of the body approximately between rounds 6 and 8, then sew the stinger onto the back of the body
• Bring the tail of the yarn to a corner on the wings any corner will work, pin the wings onto the back of the body approximately between rounds 15 and 16
• Sew the wings onto the back of the body only at the one corner and three stitches on each side ensuring they are sturdy before weaving in yarn tail
• Thread your needle with black thread and embroider eyebrows about four rounds above each eye and a small smile below the nose
• Add rosy cheeks with actual makeup blush next to the eyes, then optionally add black freckles with fabric marker or French knots on the cheeks

Important Notes

• 💡Use a stitch marker consistently to mark the beginning of each round for accurate stitch counts especially through color changes
• 💡Do not join rounds unless specifically stated in the pattern, work in a continuous spiral throughout for seamless results
• 💡All stitches are worked in both loops unless the pattern states otherwise for maintaining proper structure and tension
• 💡Eye and nose placement may need adjustment depending on the specific yarn brand and hook size you choose to use
• 💡Keep consistent tension through all the color changes in the body to maintain even stripes and proper shaping
• 💡Do not stuff the wings as they need to remain flat for proper layered appearance when joined together in pairs
• 💡The third and fourth wings must be joined together before fastening off to create the proper four-wing dimensional effect
• 💡When sewing wings attach only at the corner and three stitches on each side not across the entire back for proper wing movement
