A free crochet pattern for a reversible bee amigurumi toy from the Flippy Friends collection.
Free reversible bee Amigurumi Pattern
The newest addition to the Flippy Friends amigurumi collection is the free reversible bee crochet pattern.
Like many, I’m not a fan of insects and bugs, but there’s something adorably cute about bumble bees!
The easy crochet bee is reversible and makes a great interactive toy for children who love to fidget.
You can make your bees sleepy or awake, happy or mad, and experiment with different colors.
How to crochet a reversible bee
The free reversible crochet bee tutorial is a quick and easy project. Surprisingly, this stuffed animal doesn’t need any toy stuffing!
All you need is some super bulky blanket yarn, a crochet hook and a sewing needle.
The popping plushie will also need some eyes, so you’ll need some safety eyes or some tapestry skills to sew your own on.
