Tiktok Bee – Free Amigurumi Pattern

What’s the craze with the bee? It is the Tiktok Bee!

We have received numerous requests for a TRH-style bee pattern. We decided to use our favourite yarn – Katia Bambi and Himalaya Dolphin to create our huggable bee sofa cushion cutie 🙂

This bee is unique on its own. It has 3 black stripes (duh!). However our middle stripe is thicker. It has a pair of fluffy pink wings that looks like a ribbon. It also has a pair of handmade button eyes.

Enjoy making this cute little bee! Don’t forget to tag and hashtag both @tinyrabbithole and #crafthideout after you have finished making them!

Instructions

  • Our amigurumi are mostly done in continuous rounds starting with a Magic Ring. You don’t need to end with a slip stitch. Do use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of every round at all times.
  • You may wish to download the Counter+ app to help you with your counting.
  • Please crochet the stitches tightly to prevent the poly-fiber stuffing from showing. However, do not crochet too tightly, otherwise it’ll be difficult to continue.
  • Be sure to push the washer down only the first screw of the safety eye, so as to prevent bulging.
  • If you’re using a smaller washer, you have to push down twice.
  • Always stuff your amigurumi firmly till the point that it feels bouncy.
  • Always leave a long tail for sewing.
  • When felting, ensure that the needle is perpendicular to object.

Cut yarn and pull the yarn tail through the last stitch all the way. Use the yarn tail to sew the wings at the conjoint part into the middle of the bee (around R15). Secure the wings before weaving in the ends into the body.

Button Eyes

To make the button eyes, you will need to use a button maker. For this project, we’re using Clover Home Covered Buttons in 25mm. We have also purchased a metre of black velvet cloth from Brighton Accessories House.

How to use the button maker

Step 1:  Cut a circular piece of black velvet cloth according to the given template. To make cutting more efficient, we use the Tulip scissors with curved blades. The circle should be bigger than 25mm, otherwise you will not be able to fold the excess into a button.

Step 2: Place the cloth, followed by the top piece of the button into the button maker.

Step 3: Place the back piece of the button into the puncher.

Step 4: Push the excess cloth towards the middle and push the puncher down with the help of a hammer.

Step 5: After a few hits, remove the puncher. Use a crochet hook to push the finished button out.

You’re now done with a button eye! Use a DK yarn to fasten the button to the bee’s face between R5 and 6. You may fasten the eyes before or after finishing your bee.

If you wish to make the button eyes but you don’t have the tools, you are more than welcome to come for our Craft Hideout!
