Make an adorable chonky bee crossbody bag with this crochet pattern! This bag has a simple button closure and a delightfully grandma core chain strap. It can hold your phone, keys, wallet, chapstick, and whatever other small things you need. Change up the facial features and colors to make a unique bee of your own! Or copy mine cuz it’s cute as heck.

Pattern level: Intermediate. The crochet itself is simple, but there are a lot of parts to sew on, so a higher experience level is recommended. However, I think a beginner could tackle this with hard work!

Sizes included: one size, approx 8.5 inches wide by 6 inches tall

Materials needed:

• Super bulky (weight 6) blanket yarn - (I used Hobbii’s Baby Snuggle)
• 5mm hook
• yarn needle
• sewing needle & thread in your bee colors (plus pins or clips)
• a lighter (you need it to prevent the yarn from falling apart at the end, but if you’re using different yarn this might not be necessary)
• optional: 1/2 inch button
• optional: chain measuring between 30-60 inches (depending on chosen length)
