Hello dear reader, welcome to our Crochet And Me blog, we are going to create a beautiful crochet bee keychain. It’s a simple project and perfect for beginners. Let’s go!
Step 1: Required Materials
Yellow and black crochet yarn.
Crochet hook (appropriate size for the chosen yarn).
Filling (can be cotton or acrylic).
Safety eyes (or black buttons).
Scissors.
Tapestry needle.
Step 2: Preparation
Before you start, make sure you have all the materials on hand. Choose a comfortable, well-lit place to work.
Step 3: Bee’s Body
Make a slip knot in the yellow thread and place it on the needle.
Start by making a magic ring (or make 2 chains and work inside the first chain).
Make 6 double crochets (sc) in the magic ring.
Pull the tail to close the magic ring.
Continue making 2 sc in each stitch from the previous round. You will have a total of 12 bp.
Make another round of 1 sc in each stitch (12 sc again).
Now, fill the bee’s body with the stuffing.
Continue making 1 decrease (sc2 together) in each stitch. You will have 6 sc.
Close the body, cut the thread and tie.
Step 4: Bee Wings
With the yellow thread, make a chain of 6.
In the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 half double crochet and 1 single crochet.
Turn the work and, in the same chain, repeat: 1 double crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 half double crochet and 1 single crochet.
Cut the thread and leave a small tail for sewing.
Step 5: Head and Black Stripes
With the black thread, make a magic ring with 6 sc.
Close the magic ring and cut the thread.
Use the tapestry needle to sew the head onto the bee’s body.
Now, make 2 small black stripes on the bee’s body for the wings.
Use the tapestry needle to sew the wings to the body.
Step 6: Eyes and Mouth
Add safety eyes to the bee’s head (or sew on black buttons).
With the black thread, make a few stitches to create a smiling mouth.
Step 7: Finishing
Make sure all parts are securely sewn together.
Cut off any loose threads.
Add a key ring to the top of the bee’s head.
