Pattern:

Starting with Yellow Yarn:

In Round 1:

• Chain 2, then work 8 single crochet (SC) stitches into the second chain from the hook. Alternatively, use the magic circle method with 8 SC stitches.

Round 2:

• Increase (two SC in each stitch around) for a total of 16 stitches.

Round 3:

• (SC in the next 7 stitches, increase in the next stitch) repeat around for a total of 18 stitches.

Color Changes (from bottom to top of the B):

For each new color (green, blue, purple, pink, peach/orange):

• Last stitch of previous color, start SC but finish with new color.
• Make a slip stitch into the back loop of the next stitch with new color for a seamless transition, then continue with SC around in both loops.
• Repeat the process for each color, completing one round with 18 stitches for each color.

Back to Yellow Yarn:

• Resume with yellow yarn to start the top portion.
• Continue SC around, adding features like eyes.
• Progress with decreases combined with SC stitches to shape the head.

Stuffing and Finishing:

• Start stuffing the bee as you decrease to close the top, ensuring an oval shape for the bee.
• To close, thread yarn through front loops of remaining stitches, pull tight, and secure.
• Weave in all tails.

Wings (Make 2):

• Start with a magic circle or chain 2 as a base.

Round 1:

• 7 SC in the ring or the first chain.

Round 2:

• Increase in each stitch around for a total of 14 stitches.
• Finish off, leaving a long tail on one wing for sewing. Attach wings together and then to the bee’s back.

Additional Features:

• Attach safety eyes between specified rounds.
• Embroider cheeks with pink yarn under each eye.
