About This Bumble Blossom Black Eyed Susan Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern teaches you how to crochet a potted Black Eyed Susan flower with seven petals, two leaves, a supportive stem, a dirt insert, and a tiny bumblebee companion. The pieces are made with sport weight yarn using small hookwork and simple amigurumi shaping techniques. The finished piece stands about 12.5 cm tall and makes a delightful, long-lasting decorative gift.

Why You'll Love This Bumble Blossom Black Eyed Susan Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines small, satisfying crochet shapes with a playful assembly process that results in a display-worthy piece. I enjoy how the petals nestle tightly around the center, giving the bloom a sculpted, handcrafted look. The project uses simple repetition so it feels relaxing, but the final assembly and details like the dirt insert and bee really bring it to life. Making a set of these for gifts or as decor always brightens my day and I hope you’ll feel the same joy while stitching one up.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize the colors for this pattern — try soft pastels for a whimsical nursery look or deep autumn tones for a seasonal display.

If you want a sturdier, larger version, I change to a DK or worsted weight yarn and increase the hook size proportionally to make a chunkier plant.

I sometimes swap the yellow petals for variegated yarn to add subtle color shifts that look lovely and unique.

To create a hanging ornament, reduce the number of rounds on the stem and attach a loop before finishing the top of the center piece.

Make a whole matching set of flowers in different sizes by altering yarn weight and hook size — they look great clustered in a tray or small indoor garden.

I often add embroidered details or tiny French knots on the center for texture and interest.

Want a weighted pot? Add a small pebble or button under the cardboard base before closing the pot to prevent tipping.

You can make the bee larger or smaller by adjusting the rounds on the body and changing the size of the wing chains to match.

I enjoy making tiny accessories like a crocheted watering can or sign to personalize the scene and turn it into a gift set.

For a more lifelike stem, you could insert a thin floral wire inside the stuffed stem for extra posability while still covering wire with yarn so it remains soft to the touch.

If you prefer fewer assembly steps, stitch the petals directly onto the center as you finish the center rounds so you sew fewer seams later.

Play with textures by using a slightly fuzzy sport yarn for a softer, more botanical look that still holds the amigurumi shape well.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to add stuffing after round 10 on the stem can make the stem bend or collapse; add stuffing gradually beginning after round 10 to give the stem proper support. ✗ Forgetting to work into the back loops only (BLO) where called will change the pot edge appearance and fit; follow BLO and FLO notes exactly to match the pattern shaping. ✗ Not leaving a long tail for sewing the petals, leaves, or pot pieces will make assembly awkward; cut yarn leaving long tails as instructed to sew pieces neatly in place. ✗ Miscounting rounds when making multiple identical pieces like petals or leaves causes uneven placement; count and mark completed petals and leaves to ensure you make the correct quantity and size. ✗ Attaching petals or leaves without pinning can make placement lopsided; use pins to position pieces before sewing so spacing is even and petals fit closely together. ✗ Rushing increases or decreases in the pot or dirt pieces leads to gaps or puckering; work increases evenly and check stitch counts at the end of each round to maintain shape.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the stem to the flower center by placing the center piece on top of the stem and sewing together using the yarn tail of the center piece; add stuffing before closing the last remaining stitches.
  • Sew the seven petals around the flower center along the rounds where the stem and center were connected, positioning them closely with very little space between each petal.
  • Attach the two leaves to the stem by sewing them into place near round 11 of the stem for correct placement and balance.
  • Add a circular piece of cardboard to the bottom of the pot for extra stability before sewing the dirt into place and closing the pot base.
  • Sew the dirt top into the remaining loops of round 20 of the pot, ensuring the dirt hole is centered and add stuffing before closing the last loops.
  • Sew each bumblebee wing to the bumblebee body between rounds 4 and 5 to secure wing placement.

Important Notes

  • 💡Tip #1 – The 'wrong side' of the stitches should be on the bottom of the dirt when finished; make sure to insert your hook correctly when reattaching the yarn.
  • 💡Tip #2 – Use pins to help position the petals and leaves before sewing in place to ensure even spacing and accurate placement.
  • 💡Tip #3 – Take your time adding the stuffing and make sure the dirt hole is centered in the pot to help your flower stand up without falling over.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails when instructed for sewing pieces together; this makes assembly cleaner and easier.
