Meet Burt the Baby Bee! Burt’s favorite thing to do is buzz around from flower to flower, collecting pollen to make his favorite food of all—honey! But he can’t fly too far with his tiny wings, so he often stops on a nice big sunflower to take a nap before continuing his work.

MATERIALS YOU NEED:
-Worsted-weight yarn (4-ply) in yellow, black, and white. (The U.K. equivalent is Aran, and AUS/NZ is 8 ply.) For the black and white, I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in the colors “Black” and “White.” For the yellow, I used Red Heart Super Saver in the color “Lemon.”
