Free Amigurumi Cat Bee (Cee) Low Sew Pattern
Amigurumi Cat Bee (Cee) Pattern Description
The amigurumi cat bee is an easy and fun low-sew crochet that brings together the cuteness of a cat and a bee.
This pattern is simple enough for beginners but detailed enough to keep even experienced crocheters interested.
You’ll love how quick it works up and how little sewing it requires.
The amigurumi cat bee can be made in three sizes based on the yarn you are going to use.
These are great for gifts, décor, or even a soft toy.
This crochet is perfect for anyone who enjoys kawaii décor, kids who want a new toy, and for those who need a project for using up yarn scraps.
It’s also excellent for beginners learning to crochet and for selling at markets or online because it works up so quickly.
The amigurumi cat bee has only a 2 parts: body and wings, so there’s no need to worry about lots of complicated shaping.
This pattern uses the exact same body shape as the famous TikTok bee, but I’ve added unique cat face and ears!
If you’re new to amigurumi, this is a good pattern to start with.
The stitches are simple, and the rounds are easy to count.
You’ll practice basic stitches like single crochet, increases, and decreases while making something super cute at the same time.
You can use acrylic DK yarn or any yarn you already have at home.
Play around with colors, make your cat bee in yellow and black, or switch it up for fun pastel versions.
For sizing reference, using Aran yarn with a 5mm hook results in a medium-sized cat bee, approximately 12 cm in diameter and 16 cm long, using 12mm eyes.
If you use Super Bulky yarn with an 8mm hook, you’ll get a large size, about 20 cm in diameter and 25 cm long, also using 12mm eyes.
The pattern also includes instructions for placing the eyes, shaping the ears, and adding the wings neatly.
When I created this cute cat bee which I’m calling a “cee”, the goal was to take that loved, quick-to-make, round body shape and give it a fresh, new twist by combining it with another favorite animal: the cat.
I essentially reworked the original bee pattern to incorporate tiny cat ears directly into the head/body (making it one piece) and added a simple embroidered face and whiskers.
The key benefit of this new design is the low-sew construction, the head, body, and ears are all made in one piece, meaning you only need to attach the wings and embroider the face.
This crochet pattern is also incredibly versatile, giving you instructions to make Cee in three different sizes (small, medium, and large) simply by changing your yarn weight and hook size.

Weave in the magic ring end and use the tail to sew the wings to the bee’s body on the yellow stripe between the 2 black stripes.
Make sure you center them between the eyes.
Embroidering The Face
Place your pins like in the picture above.
Use the video tutorial to embroider the face . The cat bee has 3 whiskers on each side of the eyes, and an X for the mouth.
Your Cat Bee is now complete.
