Honeydew the Queen Bee - 6 Page PDF

There is something about watching bees buzz around a field of wildflower, you can really see the excitement as they seemingly hop from flower to flower!

This PDF includes the written instructions in US terms and step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces to finish your creation. When made with DK weight yarn (sample made in Stylecraft Special DK) and a 2.0mm hook, the finished bee will measure around 10cm/4” tall.

The project can be made using any weighted yarn, just adjust the hook size to match your choice.

• make a Magic Ring or a chain 2 equivalent
• work in a round
• single crochet
• increase/decrease
• half double crochet
• front/back loop only
• slip stitch
• puff stitch (written tutorial is included)
• crab stitch (written tutorial is included)
