A free crochet bee keychain pattern for a tiny, round striped bee with white wings, curly antennae and a chain loop on top for a keyring. This amigurumi bee is honey yellow with three dark brown bands, a little stinger, pink cheeks and an embroidered smiling face. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook and measures about 5.6 cm (2.2 in) tall including the loop. The body is one piece, so only the wings, antennae, stinger and cheeks are sewn on; follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to check every piece.
