Tiny Bees is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank.
Full of colour and slightly larger than life-sized, Tiny Bees are the perfect addition to any crocheted flower arrangement. With just a few rounds of crochet, a couple of colour changes, and simple no-sew wings, your little bee friend will come together in no time at all!
This pattern includes three different bees:
- Yellow-and-black e.g. American Bumblebee
- Spotted e.g. Common Eastern Bumblebee, Carpenter Bee
- White-tailed e.g. White-Tailed or Buff-Tailed Bumblebee
Yarn: Small quantity of worsted weight yarn in yellow, black, off-white (optional: and white)
Hook: E US/3.5mm
Size: approx 1.75" (4.5cm) long. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.)
