{"product_id":"busy-bumble-bee-crochet-pattern-by-madeleine-and-friends","title":"Busy Bumble Bee","description":"\u003cp\u003eA friend asked me to crochet some bees for a Beltane project. I couldn't find any patterns that I liked. While they were all good patterns, they were all just orb bees. The cute fuzzy bee a child would draw. I wanted something a little more true to life. So I made my own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made a lot of my own…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the suggested yarn and hook size (DK, 2.5mm) this pattern will make a 5cm long bee. Just perfect for a key chain or bag charm. It will also scale up perfectly, using heavier yarn and a larger hook, to give you a much bigger bee. I use 3 DK strands held together and 5mm hook to produce a palm sized bee,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis PDF pattern includes written instructions, notes on abbreviations, joining rounds, and colour changes. You'll use a magic ring and single crochet stitches to make the body, a bobble stitch for the eyes, and chains, slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet to make the wings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LoveCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56847318286714,"sku":"UPID245437","price":1.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/91869c8e78603359dadf2a69d197bf4059785273_UPID245437_177746135835371.jpg?v=1777513452","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-us\/products\/busy-bumble-bee-crochet-pattern-by-madeleine-and-friends","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
