About This Bee No Sew Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small no-sew bee amigurumi worked from the body up to the head in continuous rounds. You will change between yellow and brown to create the bee stripes and use bobble stitches for textured details. The instructions include a small beard detail, placement notes for safety eyes, and simple embroidery for the face. Photos included help with assembly and shaping.

Perfect for quick makes, the pattern uses super bulky yarn and a 3.5mm hook for a compact, squishy finish. No sewing between major pieces is required—everything is crocheted onto the main body for an easy finish.

Why You'll Love This Bee No Sew Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it makes a cute, approachable toy even if you are new to amigurumi. I enjoy the quick color changes for the stripes which add so much personality with minimal effort. The no-sew construction means less finishing work and faster gratification—perfect when I want to make a gift quickly. I also love that the bobble stitch detail and simple embroidered face let me add unique touches without complicated techniques.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to change color schemes to create different critters from the same basic body—try pastel yellow and cream for a softer nursery-friendly bee.

I often make the pattern smaller or larger by swapping yarn weight and changing the hook; thicker yarn with a larger hook gives a chunky cuddle friend, while thinner yarn makes a tiny keychain version.

I sometimes add felt wings or tiny crocheted wings sewn with a few whipstitches to the bee for extra dimension and stability.

For the mouse, I swap in beige and brown shades to create different woodland characters; try pink inner ears or a darker nose to vary expressions.

Dress up the puppy by crocheting a tiny scarf or a little bow—simple accessories change the personality entirely and are quick to make.

I also experiment with different eye sizes: 6mm eyes can give a gentler look while 10mm eyes give a more cartoonish expression; always follow safety guidance for toys for children.

Try embroidering different mouth shapes—smiles, little O-shapes, or no mouth at all—to convey different moods and styles.

Make a set: crochet a bee, mouse, and puppy in coordinated colors for a charming gift trio that shows off contrast and technique.

I sometimes add a small loop of chain at the top and a keyring to turn these into functional keychains or zipper pulls that hold up well in daily use.

Finally, I encourage you to mix bobble stitch placement and frequency for varied texture; moving the bobbles lower or higher changes the silhouette and feel of each toy.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not switching colors cleanly at the row transitions can leave loose strands and messy joins; carry the yarn neatly or weave in ends immediately after the color change to secure and tidy the joins. ✗ Forgetting to place safety eyes between the specified rounds will make facial placement incorrect; measure and mark the eye positions between the recommended rounds before stuffing to keep symmetry accurate. ✗ Overstuffing the head and body causes bulging and distorted shaping; stuff gradually, checking the silhouette frequently so the piece keeps its intended rounded shape. ✗ Skipping counts during increase and decrease rounds can result in misshapen pieces; count stitches after each shaping round and use a stitch marker at the start of the round to stay on track. ✗ Crocheting too loosely with super bulky yarn makes details look sloppy; maintain even, moderately firm tension throughout to keep stitches neat and the amigurumi stable. ✗ Failing to fold and attach ears exactly as instructed can create uneven placement; pin or hold ear points in place and follow the specified SLST placement to attach symmetrically.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach bee safety eyes between rounds 16 and 17 of the bee head, then embroider the mouth with black yarn and the cheeks with pink yarn.
  • For the bee beard, pick up the yarn from row 19 and crochet 4 CH, turn and 3 SC; cut the yarn and secure the beard point as shown in photos.
  • Attach mouse ears by aligning the ear point to the arm and securing with 3 SLST at rounds 18-20 for a stable position.
  • For the mouse nose, attach it to the head with 12 SLST at the BLO of rounds 13-16; position eyes at rounds 15-16 spaced 6 stitches apart.
  • Fold puppy ears in half and crochet them together at the head following the row 20 instructions, ensuring symmetrical placement before fastening off.
  • For all toys, pin parts in place and check symmetry before final sewing or slip stitch attachment; weave in ends after assembly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round especially when working continuous rounds and shaping sections.
  • 💡Stuff gradually, especially before closing decreases, to avoid lumps and to maintain the intended silhouette of the toy.
  • 💡Weave in yarn ends and cut after the indicated weave-in instruction to ensure a neat finish and avoid loose ends.
  • 💡Attach safety eyes before closing too far so the placement can be checked between the recommended rounds for correct facial proportions.
