This crochet bumble bee was something I quickly came up with using some left over cotton from a commissioned cushion I knitted. I thought it would be a nice little touch to send along as a surprise extra gift (and I heard back that he was welcomed and named Elvis – hence the name above!) and it was very easy to work up and write a pattern so that you can make one too!

As mentioned I used left over cotton yarn – it doesn’t take loads so don’t feel the need to buy it in, anything that works comfortably with a 4.5mm hook should be fine (gauge is not important), but cotton does give these gorgeously bold colours in amigurumi!
