Free crochet worry bee pattern: a Worry Bee amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A chubby striped bean-shaped bee has slanted worried brows, a wobbly little mouth, two short antennae and white heart-shaped wings, one on each side. You need about 30 m of yarn: 15 m yellow, 10 m black and 5 m white. Plan on roughly 1 hour. A pocket-size worry pet for anyone who likes bees, small enough to hold in one hand and quick enough to finish in an evening. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
