Offered by Skillshare,
Make a Simple Crochet Amigurumi Bee : BEGINNER FRIENDLY (Skillshare)

This class will take you step-by-step through the process of crocheting a cute little amigurumi bee, from holding the crochet hook and basic crochet skills, to color changing and putting it all together. No previous experience necessary!

Skills covered:

  • Base chain
  • Single crochet
  • Crocheting in the round
  • Increasing stitches; decreasing stitches to form a ball
  • Color changing to create stripes
  • Basic assembly
  • BONUS: reading a crochet pattern

Your class project is simply to follow along as we crochet a bee together. Share your finished bees in the project gallery, and don't forget to like and comment on your fellow classmates' projects, too : )
Materials needed to complete the bee:

  • Worsted weight yarn in black, yellow and white
  • A 4.0mm (US G) or 5.0mm (US H) crochet hook: my personal preference is a 4.0mm hook for tighter stitches that don’t show the stuffing inside, but I used a 5.0mm hook while filming this class.
  • Polyester fiberfill stuffing (I use Poly-fil)
  • Yarn needle (I use a tapestry needle in the videos)
