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

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a bit of cheerful nature indoors in a compact, handmade form. I enjoy how the petals are shaped individually and then assembled to create a full, dynamic bloom. The little bumblebee adds personality and a playful finishing touch that always makes me smile. I also appreciate that the pot and dirt are constructed to provide real stability, so the flower stands proudly on any shelf.

Switch Things Up

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

If you want a chunkier, cuddlier version, use a bulkier yarn and larger hook and your flower will grow much bigger and squishier.

To make a tiny keychain version, use finer yarn and a smaller hook, and reduce the petal count or make mini petals for scale.

I often add a bendable wire inside the stem for posability so the flower can be displayed with a natural curve.

Try embroidery or small bead accents on the center to create different flower textures and personalities.

You can vary the number of petals—fewer petals creates a simpler daisy, while more petals gives a fuller bloom.

Change the pot style by using color changes or surface slip stitch rows to mimic terracotta or painted pots.

Add tiny accessories like a raffia bow around the pot or a mini crocheted watering can to make a gift set.

I sometimes make a whole bouquet by making multiple stems and attaching them into a larger pot or vase for a dramatic display.

For seasonal variations, change petal colors and add embroidered details to match holidays or room decor; the pattern adapts well to creative alterations.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stuffing early on can cause the stem to flop; add stuffing gradually starting after round 10 to give the stem support. ✗ Not counting stitches during increases and decreases can distort shape; count your stitches at the end of each round to ensure accuracy. ✗ Ignoring the direction of loops when reattaching yarn can flip the visible side; insert your hook into the correct front or back loop as instructed to keep the right side facing out. ✗ Sewing petals without pinning will lead to uneven spacing; use pins to position each petal before sewing them firmly in place for uniform placement. ✗ Overstuffing the pot or dirt can prevent the flower from sitting upright; add stuffing carefully and check that the dirt hole is centered to keep the flower stable.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the flower center to the top of the stem by aligning the front loops of the center round with the back loops of the last stem round and sew together using the center piece yarn tail.
  • Pin and sew each petal around the center, attaching along the rounds where the stem and center piece were connected so the petals fit closely together.
  • Sew the two leaves to the stem near round 11, spacing them evenly and securing with back-and-forth stitching.
  • Place a cardboard circle in the bottom of the pot for stability before attaching the dirt piece, then sew the dirt into the remaining loops of round 20 of the pot and stuff before closing.
  • Sew the bumblebee wings to the bumblebee body between rounds 4 and 5, positioning them symmetrically and securing firmly with the wing tails.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the start of each round, especially during increases and decreases to maintain shape.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly to avoid lumps and to keep the stem and petals with consistent firmness.
  • 💡Pin pieces in place before sewing to ensure correct spacing and symmetry for petals and leaves.
  • 💡When reattaching yarn for the dirt top, make sure the wrong side of the stitches is on the bottom as instructed to keep the finished appearance correct.
  • 💡Add a cardboard base inside the pot to stabilize the finished flower so it stands upright without tipping.
