7 Amigurumi Bee Crochet Patterns to Try
Amigurumi bees run the full size range, from a 2-inch charm you finish in under an hour to a 17-inch plush big enough to actually hug. The techniques vary too: some rely on plain single crochet for a smooth body, while others use loop stitch to give the bee a genuinely fuzzy texture. These seven patterns cover both ends.
From the hour long charm to the huggable plush, fiberfill and safety eyes cover every version here.
Bee patterns to explore
1. Chubby Bee
Supergurumi uses Schachenmayr Catania cotton on a 2.5mm hook for a small, dense bee measuring 15 cm long and 8 cm tall. The tighter gauge from cotton and a small hook keeps the stuffing from showing through, which matters more on a rounder shape like this one.
2. Chubby Bee
Designed by Annie of Anniegurumi, shared on All About Ami, this beginner friendly version uses worsted weight yarn on a 4mm hook and adds optional embroidered antennae and a stinger in the same yarn. It’s built round and huggable, aimed at nursery or gift use rather than display.
3. Chubby Bumble Bee
StringyDingDing takes a different route entirely: loop stitch instead of plain single crochet, worked in brown, yellow, and white worsted yarn on a 4mm hook with 12mm safety eyes. You can leave the loops uncut for a curly texture or snip and brush them out for a genuinely fuzzy, fur like finish.
4. Barnabee Bumbles
Ashley Parker at The Loopy Lamb goes big: 17 inches tall from antennae to base, worked in WeCrochet Snuggle Puff worsted yarn on a 3.5mm Furls hook. It’s by far the largest bee on this list, more of a floor plush than a desk toy.
5. Bumble Bee Amigurumi Keychain
Dana Sobh at 365 Days of Dana sizes this one specifically for a keychain, using medium weight yarn on a 6mm hook for quick stitch definition on a small scale. The larger hook relative to a thinner yarn is what keeps a keychain sized piece from taking forever to finish.
6. Amigurumi Bee
Lauren Bergstrom of Móhu holds the record for smallest and fastest here: about 2 inches long in worsted yarn on a 3.5mm hook, finished in an hour or less. It’s rated easy and sized more like a charm or ornament than a toy.
7. Baby Bee Amigurumi
Holly Lanier at Storyland Amis keeps this one tiny at about 3 inches tall, assembling five separately crocheted pieces, head, body, antennae, arms, and wings, then finishing with embroidered features and safety eyes.
