Nearly three years ago we decided to do a series of simple, bean shaped patterns for begining crocheters, only to discover that “simple and bean shaped” isn’t a lot of fun to design. The results? One charming Been, the beginnings of a TRULY awful lady bug, and nothing else.

Around that time, crochet bees were swarming the internet (HA!), so despite liking this little buddy, we decided to sit on the pattern until the bee trend buzzed off. Then, in the time honored Freddy Goat fashion, we completely forgot about it. Happily, Goat bumbled across it the other day (I am on FIRE!), and we decided to give it to y’all for free!

If you make yourself a Been, tag us on ista @freddy_goat_crochet. We would love to see your yarny pollinators!
