Can you guess from last week’s Wordless Wednesday post what my most recent knitting project is?
For Christmas I received several skeins of Red Heart Amigurumi yarn. My first knit was this flying bumble bee. I love the idea behind the product. Red Heart created a skein of yarn with all the colors needed to create the amigurumi associated with their free patterns.
Today’s knitting project is an adorable little bumblebee.
I found a set of free patterns from Valley Yarns of animals made from a simple ball.
This ball was knitted in the round with yellow and black stripes. After stuffing the ball, tiny wings were knitted flat and added to the sides. The addition of two 6/0 beads and an embroidered mouth completed this quick project.
If you would like to make your own, you can download the pattern here.
Happy Knitting.
