Baby Buzzy Bee


I got this pattern from http://crafty-anna.blogspot.com/. So go to her blog to get more cool patterns just like this.
Materials:- Crochet hook E4 / 3.5 mm
- Worsted weight acrylic yarn in yellow, black and white
- Polyester fiberfill
- 6mm black safety eyes
- Yarn needle
- Sewing needle
- Black pipe cleaner

Bee: With yellow yarnRnd 1: 6 sc into a double loop start and pull the loop closed (6).
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12).
Rnd 3: [Sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc] 3 times (15).
Rnd 4: [Sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc] 3 times (18).
Rnd 5: [Sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc] 3 times (21).
Rnd 6: [Sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc] 3 times (24).
Switch to black yarn
Rnds 7-8: sc in each sc around (24).
Pause to attach eyes between Rnds 3 and 4.
Using a length of black yarn split down to 2 ply and a sewing needle, stitch mouth onto Rnd 1.
To make antennea, cut a black pipe cleaner in half. Cut a length of black yarn and tie and knot it around the center of a piece of black pipe cleaner a few times. This will create a little ball at the tip of the antennea. Bend the pipe cleaner in half and insert the ends into the bee's head between Rnds 5 and 6. Leave about 1"-1.5" of the antennea sticking out of the bee's head. With the pipe cleaner that is inside the bee's body, bend the two pieces at a 90 degree angle to anchor the antennea in place. For added strength, you may want to stitch the pipe cleaner "tails" to the bee's body using a length of yellow yarn. Repeat with other half of the pipe cleaner for the other antennea.
Switch to yellow yarn
Rnds 9-10: sc in each sc around (24).
Switch to black yarn
Rnd 11: sc in each sc around (24).
