I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple crochet stitches into a delightful, three-dimensional flower that brightens any shelf or windowsill.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern by changing yarn colors; try pastel petals for a softer look or bright neons for a modern twist.

If you want a bigger statement piece, use a thicker yarn and larger hook — I often make a chunky version with bulky yarn for a plush look.

You can make miniature versions by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create keychain-sized flowers and bees.

I sometimes add embroidered veins to the leaves for extra detail — a simple running stitch down the center adds realism.

Try adding a wire core to the stem before stuffing for a posable flower that can be bent into different displays.

Experiment with petal shapes by changing the increase rounds: more rounds before tapering creates longer, droopier petals.

For a different pot style, crochet a basket or add a decorative surface crochet band around the pot rim for texture.

I like adding tiny felt pads under the pot to protect surfaces and give the piece a finished professional feel.

Make a set of flowers with several colorways and mount them on a small wooden base to create a tabletop bouquet display.

Personalize the bee by adding embroidered eyes or tiny beads for added sparkle and personality.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during long rounds causes you to lose track of round starts; place a marker at the first stitch of each round and move it up as you go to keep accurate counts. ✗ Waiting to stuff pieces until the end often leads to uneven shapes and hard-to-reach areas; stuff gradually while you crochet, especially starting after round 10 on the stem for support. ✗ Forgetting to change loop positions when instructed (BLO/FLO) will alter the look of your edge; pay attention to the BLO/FLO notes and insert your hook into the correct loop for consistent texture. ✗ Not leaving long tails for sewing means fiddly finishing later; cut yarn but leave long tails on petals, leaves, and the center so you can sew pieces neatly without extra joins.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the center piece to the stem by placing the center piece on the stem and sewing through the remaining loops, using the yarn tail of the center piece to secure it in place.
  • Sew each petal to the center and stem by aligning the petals closely next to one another and stitching along the rounds where the stem and center were connected; use pins to position before sewing.
  • Sew the leaves to the stem near round 11 of the stem, spacing them as shown in the photos and securing with tight, even stitches.
  • Insert a cardboard circle into the bottom of the pot for stability, then sew the dirt piece into the remaining loops of round 20 of the pot and stuff before closing the last stitches.
  • Place the assembled flower stem into the dirt hole in the pot and sew the dirt top closed around the stem to secure the flower upright.
  • Sew the bee wings to the bee body between rounds 4 and 5, then attach the finished bumblebee to a petal or the flower center as desired.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round to maintain accurate round counts and prevent accidental increases or decreases.
  • 💡Add stuffing gradually — start stuffing stems and petals after the recommended rounds so you can shape them correctly and avoid lumps.
  • 💡Pin parts in position before sewing to ensure symmetry and even placement of petals, leaves, and the bee.
  • 💡Insert a cardboard circle in the pot base for added stability so the flower can stand upright without tipping over.

This Bumble Blossom Black Eyed Susan is a joyful, handmade accent that brings color and cheer to any windowsill or desk. The pattern includes a tiny bumblebee companion and a stable pot base for display. Crochet one for yourself or make several as thoughtful, lasting gifts. 🧶🌼
