Amigurumi Big Bee Free Pattern

Important information.

1. MK DOES NOT CONTAIN KNITTING LESSONS! Difficulty: medium.

2. All materials indicated in this master class were used to create this particular toy, and do not exclude the use of others. But this may affect the type of toy and its size, so I advise you to select yarn of the appropriate footage and composition.

3. I recommend choosing the size of the hook for the yarn you have chosen. I have this – Clover No. 2.

4. All pieces are knitted in the spiral unless otherwise noted.

5. To make it convenient to follow the beginning of the row, use a marker (you can use a thread of a contrasting color, thinner than the main one).

6. To prevent an uneven edge formed when knitting with a spiral technique, we finish the details like this:

7. Stuff the toy in the course of knitting.

8. Color change – in any way convenient for you.

Fold piece in half and work 5 sc. for both sides of the part.

Leave a long thread for sewing the wing to the body.

Assembly and decoration.

Let’s start with the snouts of the muzzle.

The photo shows the sequence of inserting the needle in one place or another, in numbers.

Be careful!

We outline with needles the places for tightening the smile. From the middle of the eye down – 8 rows.

We tighten the threads under each eye in the course of work.

Pull both threads, giving the muzzle the desired shape.

Then bring the thread inside the head, tie knots.

Embroider the whites of the eyes.

Tie a knot and bring the thread out (by inserting the needle into the same hole where the embroidery began) inside the head.

Embroider eyebrows.

Tie a knot. Hide the thread.

Embroider a smile with a brown thread (I have YarnArt jeans).

Pull the threads, tie a knot. Hide.

Sew antennae (between 5th and 7th rows from the beginning of knitting) and spout (between 14th and 21st rows) to the head.

Sew the head to the body.

Then, we fasten the handles between 6 and 7 next to the head and the legs between 7 and 8 next to the beginning of knitting the body, using the Iris thread in two additions.

(Note that the knobby fingers on the attached hands are turned towards you.)

Fasten the thread on the hand, stepping back 2 rows from the end of knitting.

We bring the thread symmetrically on the other side of the body, stepping back 6 !!! rows from the head.

We fasten the thread on both hands as in the photo.

Attaches to legs the same way.

Fasten your hands by stretching the thread back and forth 2 times.

Then, wrap the thread around the main fastener, tie a knot, and hide the arms (legs) inside.

Step back on the arm 2 rows down, fasten the thread

Retreat b 6

rows down from

heads!!!

The thread is withdrawn and then inserted at the same place between the SC!!!

between 7 and 8 next!!!

Pull the thread through the inside of the arm, stepping back 3 SC from the initial needle insertion. Sew on the wings right under the head.

Your bee is ready!
