TikTok Bee Crochet Pattern In 3 Sizes

Amigurumi Bumblebee – One Pattern, 3 Sizes

---

If you are on TikTok, you know this bee pattern. Even if you’re not, I am sure at some point you crossed paths with this fun bumblebee design, usually crocheted in bulky yarn.

I got asked over and over to make this amigurumi bee and finally, last month I got some free time between my usual blanket projects, to make it for my grandkids. And of course, I had to make my own pattern.

Initially, I started making it in super bulky yarn thinking I’ll just release it like a bumblebee cushion for kids. But then Mr.B made a comment that got me thinking: “You know, if you make smaller bees, this will actually look good as a baby mobile” he said “You can hang the small bumblebees under the big bee, and will look really cool” he continued.

And then the penny dropped! You can actually make this TikTok bee in different sizes, using the same pattern, but different yarn weights and hook sizes. And this is what I’m going to show you today in this post: one pattern, 3 sizes of TikTok bumblebee.

You will find all the info about sizes and yarn in the Pattern notes section of this page.

Crochet TikTok Bee Written Pattern

---

• Work in the round, without turning.
• Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each round.
• The number at the end of each round is the number of stitches you should have in that round
• The pattern written between ** is that pattern that needs to be repeated.

The Bee’s Body

TIP: Watch the video tutorial to see how I get straight stripes when crocheting the black stripes on the bee. If you don’t have super bulky yarn, but still want to make the giant bee, use 2 strands of bulky held together.

Start with yellow. Choose your yarn weight and hook from the list in the Pattern Notes section and create a magic ring.

Round 1: 6sc into the magic ring, pull the tail to close the magic ring shut = 6
Round 2: inc x 6 = 12
Round 3: *inc, sc* x 6 = 18
Round 4: *inc, sc in next 2sts* x 6 = 24
Round 5: *inc, sc in next 3sts* x 6 = 30
Round 6: *inc, sc in next 4sts* x 6 = 36
Round 7: *inc, sc in next 5sts* x 6 = 42
Round 8: *inc, sc in next 6sts* x 6 = 48

Place the eyes, 5 rounds from the magic circle center. If you imagine the circle as being the face of a clock, the left eye will be at 10 o’clock and the right one at 2 o’clock.

Use black yarn to embroider the mouth between rounds 3 and 4 from the magic circle center. You can make it as angled as you like, just make sure it is equally spaced between the eyes. Watch the video to see how I did it.

Continue with yellow from where you left off

Rounds 9 – 12: sc in each stitch = 48

Close round 12 with a slip stitch and switch colors to black, but don’t cut the yellow yarn.

Rounds 13 – 16: sc in each stitch = 48

Close round 16 with a slip stitch and switch colors to yellow, but don’t cut the black yarn.

Rounds 17 – 20: sc in each stitch = 48

Close round 20 with a slip stitch and switch colors to black, but don’t cut the yellow yarn.

Rounds 21 – 24: sc in each stitch = 48

Close round 24 with a slip stitch and switch colors to yellow, cut the black yarn and leave a long tail on the inside of the bee.

Rounds 25 – 28: sc in each stitch = 48
Round 29: *dec, sc in next 6sts* x 6 = 42
Round 30: *dec, sc in next 5sts* x 6 = 36
Round 31: *dec, sc in next 4sts* x 6 = 30

Start stuffing the bee’s body with toy stuffing. Keep adding stuffing as you work up the rounds. Make sure it is firmly stuffed.

Round 32: *dec, sc in next 3sts* x 6 = 24
Round 33: *dec, sc in next 2sts* x 6 = 18
Round 34: *dec, sc* x 6, fasten off = 12

Finish stuffing the bee’s body, then use the tail to close off the hole. Weave in the end.

The Bee Wings

• Work in the round, without turning or closing the rounds.
• Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each round.
• The number at the end of each round is the number of stitches you should have in that round
• The pattern written between ** is that pattern that needs to be repeated.

Using the same yarn weight in white and the same hook size that you used for the bee’s body, create a magic ring. Make 2 wings.

Round 1: 6sc into the magic ring, pull the tail to close the magic ring shut = 6
Round 2: inc x 6 = 12
Round 3: *inc, sc* x 6 = 18
Round 4: *inc, sc in next 2sts* x 6 = 24
Round 5: *inc, sc in next 3sts* x 6, sl st to close the round, fasten off and leave a long tail = 30

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.
